Gayle Levesque won $100,000 after playing Instant Gold Pursuit

A birthday gift has made a Niagara Falls woman $100,000 richer after winning with Instant Gold Pursuit.

Gayle Levesque, who works as a medical assistant, says she's not a regular lottery player, until her husband bought her the ticket.

When she checked it, she thought the win was a mistake, and her husband thought she was pulling his leg.

She plans to pay some bills, share with her kids, save some... and celebrate with her husband on a cruise.

OLG adds the ticket was bought at the Shoppers Drug Mart on Montrose Road.
