A woman from Blaketown won set for life lottery, $1,000 a week for 25 years

A woman from Blaketown won set for life lottery, $1,000 a week for 25 years, the winner was so amazed to see her winnings. 

Patsy Dawe of Blaketown, NL, told the Atlantic Lottery that she doesn’t play the lottery often, purchasing a ticket or two each month on a whim.

“I scratched the ticket and couldn’t believe what I saw. I saw three lounge chairs so I started to scratch the prize lot and saw ‘Set…'” Dawe said. 

“I thought ‘No, this can’t be right,’ but it did, it said ‘Set for Life,'” she told Atlantic Lottery in a news release.

Winners can choose to receive $1,000 a week for 25 years, or a lump sum payment of $675,000, and Dawe opted for the lump sum.

Dawe says her win has opened up new possibilities for her and while she never dreamed of it before, she thinks she may go on her first cruise vacation.
