Corporate Christmas | Co-workers "will never forget" $50,000 win after boss gifts lottery tickets for Christmas

Christmas shopping and cancer treatment expenses are among the spending plans for a group of coworkers who won $50,000 after their supervisor gifted them scratch-off lottery tickets for Christmas.

It could well be the plot line from a heartwarming Hallmark Christmas movie; but remarkably, this yuletide tale from Bowling Green, Kentucky is a true story.

Sheila Colter, a Med Center Health Environmental Services supervisor, discovered the gifts she had planned to give employees would not arrive in time for their Christmas party.

“Our work Christmas party was earlier than usual, and my planned gifts were stuck in transit," explains Colter, speaking to WBKO news.
