PRINCE GEORGE — A Prince George man has won the Set for Life game’s top prize of $675,000.

Frank Martin says it nearly knocked him off his feet when he found out.

“I was at home and had just finished dinner,” Martin recalled. “I remembered I had bought some tickets. I scratched the first one and won nothing. Then I was scratching this ticket and saw the cash symbols. I thought I had won $10,000 but then read the back of the ticket. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, I didn’t think it could be real.

“I fell out of the chair.”

“It is amazing, I am really surprised,” he said.
