Lucky Again! Canadian Couple Claims $675,000 Scratch-Off Jackpot

Talk about a lucky streak! A Canadian couple has scored another major lottery win, proving that lightning can strike twice.

Angelina and Edward Lado of St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, won the $675,000 top prize on Atlantic Lottery's Set for Life scratch-off ticket in August. Surprisingly, this isn't their first big payday. The couple previously won $2.5 million from another scratch-off game in 2018.

Edward said he initially struggled to believe the news when his wife told him about their latest win. He asked her to wait until he got home so they could confirm the ticket was a winner.

How They Plan to Spend Their Winnings

The couple chose to take the $675,000 lump sum instead of receiving $1,000 per week for 25 years, the alternative offered by the game.

They plan to use part of the money to help their college-aged children cover education expenses. However, they're in no hurry to make major financial decisions.

"We don’t want to rush into anything," Edward explained, adding that taking their time is the best way forward.

Could a Third Big Win Be Next?

The winning scratch-off ticket cost just $4, making the couple's latest prize an incredible return.

Although they continue to play the lottery, Edward said they do so modestly, especially after their latest windfall. Still, he hasn't ruled out another big win.

As the couple celebrates their second life-changing lottery victory, their plan is simple: support their family, stay patient, and enjoy the unexpected good fortune.
