$1,025,426.12 jackpot awarded in Saskatoon!
Saskatoon, SK – Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) is pleased to announce a Vault Breaker jackpot prize awarded by the Saskatchewan VLT program. Wanda Daigneault of Île-à-la-Crosse was awarded $1,025,426.12 after winning the grand jackpot on Vault Breaker at Stonebridge Tavern in Saskatoon on January 9.
“I had no idea what I was doing,” Daigneault laughed. “The person sitting next to me told me I won $18,000 and I didn’t see the fifth icon fall on my screen.”
“Then the guy said, ‘You got it! You’re a millionaire!’” she said. “I was like, ‘What?! Oh my God!’”
Daigneault said this win will help her fulfill a special wish: “My biggest dream is for my husband to retire,” she started. “He took care of me [when I needed it], and it’s been a hard couple years.”
“It’s his turn to be taken care of,” she continued. “It’s a relief to know we don’t have to worry as much!”
