Newfoundland Man won $650k with the ticket he received as gift

A man from St. John’s, Newfoundland got a scratch-off ticket as gift from his Daughter as a gift on Father's Day which turned out be a huge win of $650k.

“I was down to the house where my daughter is to, and she left a Father’s Day card for me,” he said.

“When I opened it, I saw there was two Set for Life tickets in it, and after I handed them to Anne to scratch, she didn’t believe what she saw.”

“I saw three suns and the prize payout said 'Set for Life,'" Anne said. “I looked at it at least three times before I called John to show him. The two of us were just jubilant when we saw it.”

It also seems like their daughter had a hard time believing John when he called her with the news.

Winners of Set for Life can choose between receiving $1000 a week for 25 years or one big lump sum payment of $675,000. The Bartletts choose $1000 a week for 25 years.
