B.C. Interior woman wins $675,000 from a scratch and win game

KAMLOOPS – A woman from Forest Grove is planning a trip to Europe after winning $675,000 from a Set for Life Ticket.

Christina Kam bought the ticket from a grocery store in 100 Mile House and says she was in disbelief when she found out she had won, according to a media release from B.C. Lottery Corporation.

“I’ve played Set for Life for about 10 years now because it’s my favourite Scratch & Win ticket,” Kam says in the release. “It’s still so surreal to win such a grand prize. I felt numb when I first discovered that I had won, but now I’m just so excited for the possibilities.”

Kam says she plans to save up some of the winnings but is going to plan a trip to France.

"I have always wanted to travel to Europe but never had the chance. Thanks to this win, I can explore France, especially Paris,” Kam says.

The top prize for Set for Life Scratch and Win game is $1,000 a week for 25 years.
