Police in Windsor are warning residents to be on the lookout for lottery scams after a Windsor resident lost $24,000. The scam typically involves a call, email, text or pop-up screen telling people they're a winner, but must pay to claim their prize. "They try to entice you with a prize and trick you into giving banking and other personal information to claim your prize." One Windsor woman was told she won $2.5 million, but she had to pay for shipping and taxes. "You should not have to pay money to receive money or a prize and if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is," wrote Drouillard.
