A downtown St. John's restaurant that was started by a lottery winner four years ago has closed down.

David Primmer opened the Fifth Ticket and piano bar on Water Street after he won nearly $4 million in the lottery.

    Primmer decided to sell the piano bar in March, in an effort to get the restaurant through a tough economic slump. 

    In an interview in March, Primmer said even with the difficulty of running a business in hard times, he would do it all again if he was given the chance.
