A Port McNicoll man is planning a trip out east after winning big on a scratch lottery ticket.

Tommy Ladouceur won $100,000 on an Instant Crossword Tripler. He originally thought he had won $100 and was shocked when he found out the actual amount.

“We dropped by my in-laws first – their response was, ‘No way!’ Then we went home and told the kids and they were super excited. We had a big family hug to celebrate,” the father of three said in a statement.

Ladouceur is planning to renovate his bathroom and to take a trip to Nova Scotia with his wife.

“This has been such a blessing.”

He purchased the ticket at Garrett’s Convenience on Talbot Street in Port McNicoll.
