$1,101,590.82 jackpot awarded in Regina!
Regina, SK – Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) is pleased to announce a Vault Breaker jackpot prize awarded by the Saskatchewan VLT program. Chris Overholt of Regina was awarded $1,101,590.82 after winning the grand jackpot on Vault Breaker at Open Tap Brewing Company and Eatery in Regina on September 8.
“I couldn’t believe it!” said Overholt. “I was in complete disbelief.”
Overholt said his win is extra meaningful because he was hanging out with his dad.
“My dad asked me if I wanted to go for a drink,” he said. “It’s pretty special that it happened when we were together.”
The winner said he has a few ideas for his windfall.
“I’m going to take my family on a vacation,” he said. “And my dad is re-doing the cupboards at the cabin, so I’d like to help with that.”
