Moncton (NB) Cynthia Payne from Portugal Cove St. Philips N.L. is the latest Set for Life winner and will be taking home $1000 per week for the next 25 years.
Cynthia and her dad buy Set for Life tickets each week explaining its the perfect game to win and the only one we play. The convenience store where they usually buy had run out of Set for Life tickets so they waited patiently for the next order to arrive.
While out running errands Cynthia ran into a friend who told her the Set for Life tickets had arrived at the store. She chose to make a final stop to pick one up. Ill take three popped out of Cynthias mouth as the clerk pulled them out of the display case. Ten minutes later Cynthia scratched the third ticket and discovered she had won. Her last minute choice to buy those two extra tickets made her one lucky lady!
Cynthia is planning on using her winnings to do some home renovations hire a personal trainer and eventually travel to Europe for some sightseeing.
Whales Back Convenience in Portugal Cove St. Philips N.L. will receive a one percent sellers prize for selling the winning ticket.
Even though the fourth and last top prize has been claimed theres no need to worry; the New Set for Life will be available at lottery retailers on Friday April 30. Thats four more chances for YOU to be Set for Life!
