One St. John’s dad is Set for Life after receiving a grand prize winning ticket with his Father’s Day card last weekend.
John Bartlett says he was at his daughter’s house where she had left him a Father’s Day card. Inside were two Set for Life tickets, which he handed to his wife Anne to scratch.
That’s when Anne scratched off three matching sun symbols and the corresponding Set For Life grand prize.
It took the couple some time to convince their daughter of the good news as John has the reputation of being a bit of a prankster.
The couple opted for the one-time payout of $675,000 dollars to pay some bills, purchase a new vehicle and plan a trip to Ireland and Scotland.
