A Battleford couple found themselves $100,000 richer after winning the April 5 Extra draw.

Shelley Ayotte was checking her tickets at a pharmacy when she discovered the Extra ticket won her $100,000. According to a news release from Saskatchewan Lotteries, she called her husband Roland at home to tell him about the win and neither could believe it.

The couple plan to put the money towards their upcoming retirement and do a little more travelling.

The winning ticket was purchased at the Discovery Co-op.
