$1,188,958.43 Vault Breaker 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. Regina local Scott Wheatley was awarded a staggering $1,188,958.43 after winning the grand jackpot on Vault Breaker at Regina’s Four Seasons Palace on May 8.
“I thought I was dreaming,” said Wheatley. “When all five vault breakers fell I knew I won the big one."
“I was very quiet about the whole thing," Wheatley recalled.
The winner has a few plans for his windfall.
“I’m going to put it towards my savings and retirement, maybe I’ll buy a new truck and storage trailer,” he noted.
