BCLC: Instant Ticket Spells Instant Retirement for Jackpot Winner

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 2, 2011) - Port Moody's Judith Marsh has wanted to retire for months, but hasn't been able to determine the right time. Today, that decision is a lot easier.

"Now that I have my winning cheque I will let my boss know I'm retiring," says the 66-year-old office worker for the Fraser Health Authority, who scratched a Set for Life ticket and won the top prize of $1,000 a week for 25 years.

Opting to take a lump sum payment of $675,000, Marsh says she is now looking forward to spending more time with her daughter and granddaughter.

"I want to buy a condo to be closer to them," she says. "My husband and I live in a townhouse now and we hate the stairs, so we can't wait. We're all so excited!"
