Mom and daughter in Red Deer scratch $100,000 win

Jun 9, 2017 | 3:12 PM

A Red Deer mother and daughter duo have a new lease on life.

Madeleine and Irene Lowe always play scratch and win tickets when they get together, a tradition only made fonder after the pair found out they’d won $100,000.

“We like to play SET FOR LIFE,” said Irene. “Who wouldn’t want to be set for life?!” 

Set for Life tickets offer a grand prize of $1,000 a week for 25 years.

“This time, we were just sitting at the kitchen table scratching our tickets,” said Madeleine. “I couldn’t believe it. We were instantly happy.”
