    Despite not being a regular lottery player, during a recent outing to the town, Jeffrey White decided to go buy a ticket at the store next door while waiting for his takeout order.

    A stop at the Orangestore in Deer Lake has paid off in a  big way for a Springdale man. Jeremy White is $675,000 richer thanks to a recent Set for Life Scratch’N Win ticket purchase that paid off with a top-prize win. Despite not being a regular lottery player, during a recent outing to the town, White decided to go buy a ticket at the store next door while waiting for his takeout order. After scratching the ticket and revealing three Set for Life symbols, he needed confirmation so went back to the store to have the ticket validated, saying he needed to make sure there was nothing wrong with his eyes. The teller scanned it and said, “Well b’y, if there’s something wrong with your eyes, there’s something wrong with mine too.” The seller will receive a one per cent seller’s prize.
