Two local residents are celebrating big lottery wins.
Windsor resident Mansoor Mansoor, 55, won $100,000 with an Instant Crossword Tripler scratch ticket.
"I purchased the ticket in a bit of a hurry, so I decided to scratch the bar code to check it quickly. I saw the $100,000 prize amount come up and I felt great. I was so happy and shocked," Mansoor said. "The first person I told is my wife – she was very happy for me!"

The winning ticket was purchased at Zehrs on Tecumseh Road East in Windsor.
Leamington resident John Watkins won $800,000 with the Bigger Spin Instant game.
"I've been playing consistently for 30 years," he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings. "I normally play the BIG SPIN, but I decided to try my luck this time with the BIGGER SPIN."
He plans to put his win toward paying off his mortgage, helping his children, and saving for a rainy day.
The winning ticket was purchased at Seacliff Stop and Shop Variety on Seacliff Drive in Leamington.
