Windsor man scratches his way to $350,000

A regular lottery player is now richer thanks to a scratch-off ticket.

Michael Kennedy of Windsor had had previous luck with the Instant Crossword games, but after buying a $30 Instant Crossword Deluxe game, revealed the top prize of $350,000.

Kennedy picked up his prize this week at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.

"I played my ticket at the store and scanned it using the ticket checker," said Kennedy, a foreman supervisor. "When I saw a whole bunch of numbers come up on the screen, I didn't believe it."

He plans to invest some of the winnings and use the rest to pay off bills.

The winning ticket was purchased at the California Mini Market on California Avenue in Windsor.
