“I’m Very Thankful”: Saskatchewan Resident Scores $675,000 from Set for Life

John Stewart was driving to Alaska and decided to check his Scratch & Win tickets. He was in complete shock when he learned that he scored Set for Life’s top prize of $675,000.

“I driving to Alaska for a trip,” recalled Steward. “I was scratching my tickets and said ‘This can’t be real!’ About a week later I phoned [BCLC] and gave them the serial number of the ticket.” 

At the time of this prize claim, the Aqsuith, Saskatchewan resident hadn’t told anyone of his win.

Stewart plans to help his loved ones and make repairs to his home.
