Angelina and Edward Lado of St. John’s, N.L. recently took home the Set for Life top prize worth $675,000. The couple knew exactly what to do when they realized they won, having gone through the process eight years ago after winning a $2.5-million Scratch’N Win prize.

“I thought maybe she was bluffing when she told me, I really couldn’t believe it,” Edward said. “I told her to calm down and when I come home, we will see if it is for real.”

Atlantic Lottery’s Set for Life is a $4 Scratch’N Win ticket that offers two options for the top prize. Winners can choose to receive $1,000 a week for 25 years, or a lump sum payment of $675,000. The Lados will receive the lump sum payment.

The couple took home the $2.5-million top-prize on a Scratch’N Win ticket called Multi-Millionaire back in 2018. While the couple said they are in disbelief to be claiming a second major prize, they also love to think they may even be back one day to claim a third.

“We play but modestly, especially now, but if you don’t play, you don’t win,” Edward said. “We’ve purchased bigger tickets and not won anything significant on them and then Set for Life costs just $4 and we did.”

The couple plans to use some of their winnings to help their children who are in college and university to pay for their education and give them a headstart in life.

“We will think about anything else along the way but for now we are just digesting the moment and letting it sink in,” Edward said. “We don’t want to rush into anything, taking our time is the best option and things will fall into place as life progresses.”

Angelina purchased the couple’s winning Set for Life ticket at the Kiwanis Street Marie’s Mini Mart in St. John’s, N.L. The seller will receive a one per cent seller’s prize.
