MONCTON, N.B. - A P.E.I. man is $675,000 richer after he scratched a Set For Life lottery ticket this week and won.

Carl Dingwell of Dundas, along with his wife and two daughters, picked up his cheque Thursday in Moncton. Dingwell, who's in his 40s, chose the lump sum instead of the weekly payout.

He said he'll keep working as he usually does, helping on fishing boats, and in blueberry and potato fields.

Dingwell said the money will go towards his daughter's education, bills, some trips, and perhaps a new truck.
