Corven McDonald of Hermitage, N.L., recently had a dream come true

when he won the top prize on Set for Life worth $675,000.

“I’ve been buying lottery tickets since the first year I started working, over 30 years ago, and Set for Life since they started printing them,” McDonald said. “I always dreamed about winning and financial security.”

Winners can choose to receive $1,000 a week for 25 years, or a lump sum

payment of $675,000. McDonald opted to receive the lump sum payment.

According to McDonald, his big win won’t change who he is or how he lives, and he will continue to follow a budget as he always has.

With his winningd he plans to pay off his vehicle, purchase his brother a new truck and complete some renovations to his home.
