Laurie Kent says she's been playing the same numbers for 20 years, says she screamed with joy and ran around the living room

Persistance with the same lottery numbers has finally paid off for a Niagara Falls woman.

The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation says Laurie Kent has won almost $106,000 from the March 19th Lotto 6/49 draw.

She says she's been using the same numbers for 20 years.

One day she planned to buy a ticket, then realized she had another unchecked one, which turned out to be the big win.

She says she'll travel, and invest in retirement.

The ticket was bought at Zehrs on Morrison Street in Niagara Falls.
