DAD got the best Father’s Day gift of all when he won the £ 420,000 lottery jackpot after his daughter bought him a ticket.
John Bartlett scooped up life-changing amounts after opening a card from his beloved kid and finding two Scratch’N Win cards.

He gave his wife Anne one and scratched it, but rarely expected a big win.
A family from Newfoundland, Canada, said they would never forget Father’s Day this year, thanks to their huge wind and rain.
John explained: “When I went to the house where her daughter was, her daughter left her father’s day card.
“When I opened it, I saw it had two Set for Life tickets, and after I handed Anne to scratch them, she believed what she saw. did not.”
Ann’s ticket contained three matching symbols with the word “Set for Life” that every lottery player dreamed of seeing.
She states: “I saw three suns, and the prize payment was” set for life. ”
“I saw it at least three times to call John and show it. We were just rejoicing when we saw it.”
The two couldn’t believe their luck after winning the prize-and their daughter also had a hard time believing in them.
John continued. “As for the kids, I’m a little mischievous, but I thought I was finally convinced that we won.
“We hung up, and five minutes later she called me and said,’Are you playing with me?'”
Since then, Dad has convinced her that his plunge is really real and is now planning how to use the jackpot.
Set for Life winners can choose to receive approximately £ 800 each week for 25 years or a lump sum of £ 420,000.
The family decided to take all of their victories at once and allow them to pay off their bills and spatter into new cars.
John said he intends to retire with his wife and wants to take her to Ireland, Scotland, or “maybe both.”
We previously talked about how a man sued his friend after cutting him out of a £ 600,000 lottery win.
Philip Tsutsos in Windsor, Ontario, Canada was excluded from the grand prize won by a group of 16 peers last summer.
Fellow argued that he was not eligible to receive part of the prize because he had not paid the amount needed to stay in the lottery pool.
But now, the “injured” pizza deliveryman has brought the matter to civil court as he insists that he should be declared the 17th winner.
