Ali Salih Omer takes home $100,000

A Niagara Falls man is $100,000 richer after winning Instant Gold Pursuit.

Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation says Ali Salih Omer is the big winner.

He works in the food industry, and says he loves the variety of Instant games, and this is his first big win.

He says he wants to buy a house, start his own business, and this win gets him closer to his dreams of living in Canada.

OLG says the ticket was bought at Rollz Up Ice Cream and Convenience on Lundy's Lane in Niagara Falls.
