The winners are John Sampson, a Vermont farmer, Roy DaCosta a self-employed Biabou man, and Mavis Caine a Layou shop keeper. {{more}}
Sampson took the first prize of $5,000, with DaCosta $2,000, while Caine secured $1,000.
Their fortune emerged from the draw made at Heritage Square last Friday April 30. There will be one more monthly draw before the massive Set for Life winner is known June 18. That will be a special 20th anniversary promotion by the NLA. The big prize is worth $500, 000 including a three bedroom single story House at Pembroke on the Leeward end of mainland St. Vincent, a Nissan Xtrail SUV worth $112,000 and $50,000. There will also be monetary prizes for second, third, fourth and fifth positions.
