A Kentucky woman missed out on her first choice in an office 'white elephant' gift exchange but did just fine with her backup: A lottery scratcher worth $175,000.
Imagine someone swipes your gift worth $25, and you end up with $175,000. That's exactly what happened to a woman in Louisville.
"Once it got to me, it was done and mine to keep. That's when everyone was telling me to scratch them off," Janes said. "Everyone was going insane. People were getting their calculators out and double-checking. A couple of people even scanned the ticket on the lottery's app, just to make sure," Janes said.
"We figured she didn't look at it right, but then we heard people in the background celebrating, it became real," her husband told lottery officials.
