This is my FAVORITE story of the week (possibly the entire year) as it reminds each of us to be happy with what we get in life, because you just never know what life has in store for you. Lori Janes, who works at Harmon Dental Center as an office manager, was participating in a white elephant gift exchange with her coworkers when someone "stole" a $25 TJ Maxx gift card she had received, according to the Kentucky lottery. At first she was upset, but then decided to go with $25 scratch off lottery tickets from another co-worker. "Once it got to me, it was done and mine to keep. That’s when everyone was telling me to scratch them off," she said. Lori began to scratch the tickets off with everyone sitting around. She won $50 on the first ticket and proceeded to scratch off the second one, winning the game’s $175,000 top prize. The co-workers went insane with screams and yelling and checking the lottery's app to confirm her winnings. The only thing we don't know is...how does the co-worker with the $25 TJ Max gift card feel now? lol!!!!!
