Some people go to great lengths to avoid their in-laws, but it's safe to say Mukesh Dutt isn't one of them.

That's because the Vancouver plumber has just become $675,000 richer thanks to a scratch and win ticket his mother-in-law gifted him for Valentine's Day.

Dutt told the B.C. Lottery Corporation he's planning a family celebration to show his gratitude, and might take the family on a camping trip up north as well."My son Is only two months old, so being able to buy a home in Vancouver where I grew up and put a house over my family's heads is special," Dutt said in a statement provided by the BCLC.

The father said he's played lottery tickets before, but had never played a scratch ticket before receiving his winning Set for Life 20th Anniversary ticket.People who win the Set for Life prize have the option of receiving the weekly $1,000 payout or a single lump sum of $675,000. The weekly payouts are "not transferable, assignable or commutable in whole or in part," according to BCLC's rules.

'We’d like to get justice': Siblings of man fatally shot by RCMP call for chargesFamily members of Kyaw Din, a Maple Ridge man who was shot and killed by RCMP in 2019, are calling for the officers involved to be charged. While this is a tragic story to be sure, the RCMP reacted when they were attacked. Regardless of the intentions or the mental state of the attacker they don’t have the luxury of time to assess and analyze. They need to react to save their own lives and frankly I don’t blame them.
