Moose Jaw, SK – Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) is pleased to announce a Vault Breaker jackpot prize awarded by the Saskatchewan VLT program. Tammy Topinka of Moose Jaw was awarded $1,436,484.22 after winning the grand jackpot on Vault Breaker at Bugsy’s Irish Pub on May 14.
“I was ready to faint,” said Topinka while claiming her prize. “I couldn’t believe it!”
“At first, I thought I had won $14,000,” she continued. “The guy sitting beside me had to tell me that I had actually won the jackpot!”
The winner said she has a couple ideas for her major win.
“I’m going to pay some bills and put some money away for retirement,” she said. “We also have some home improvements in mind – a new central air conditioner, fence and dishwasher!”
