It looks like Christmas came early for one group of lucky employees.

Workers at Med Center Health Environmental Services in Bowling Green, Kentucky, were in for a surprise on Tuesday when they won $50,000 on scratch-off tickets their boss had purchased for them as a holiday present.

“Our work Christmas party was early this year,” said Shift Manager, Sheila Colter, in a release. “I had ordered some items online, but they didn’t come in before the party, so I decided to get Scratch-offs instead.”

Colter had purchased scratch-off tickets for employees to share, and one won $50.

The workers decided to use that $50 to purchase a $50 Millionaires Club scratch-off ticket, on which they won $100. Then, they used those winnings to buy two more tickets, and one had a prize of $50,000.

There were 14 employees present when the winning ticket was revealed, which Colter says had her “on the floor.”

After taxes, the winnings came to $35,750. Colter and 21 employees will split the prize, which comes to $1,750 each.

“I’m going to use it for my mom’s medicine,” one employee named Winnie Beckman told the KY Lottery, explaining that her mother had recently been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. “This will help a lot. And I will never forget this.”

Talk about a Christmas miracle.
