A person scratches a scratch card with a coin
  • A group of coworkers in Kentucky won $50,000 on scratch cards they got as holiday gifts.
  • They won $50 on a ticket, so bought some more – and ultimately ended up with $50,000.
  • "We were all so excited," one of the winners told Kentucky Lottery. "I was on the floor."

A group of coworkers in Kentucky won $50,000 on the lottery after repeatedly winning on scratch cards.

Sheila Colter from Bowling Green, who works as a second shift supervisor at Med Center Health Environmental Services, had ordered holiday presents online for her team but they didn't arrive on time, the Kentucky Lottery said in a press release. Instead, she got them some $30 scratch cards to share, as well as some with smaller price points.
