Saskatoon, SK – Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) is pleased to announce a Vault Breaker jackpot prize awarded by the Saskatchewan VLT program. Christina Clarke of Stony Rapids was awarded $1,448,697.88 after winning the grand jackpot on Vault Breaker at Rock Creek Tap and Grill in Saskatoon on August 1.
“My two sisters and my mom and I were all playing,” Clarke said. “We each put in $20 and took turns pushing the button.”
“All of a sudden, the Vault Breaker came up,” she explained. “When it hit the grand jackpot, we all erupted in screams! It was very exciting.”
A couple of days after her win, Clarke said she is still feeling the surprise: “We really didn’t know what was happening when the Vault Breaker popped up,” she laughed. “We were all saying ‘What’s happening? What’s the grand jackpot?’ What did we win?’”
Clarke said she hasn’t made any big plans for her windfall, but she has a few ideas to get started.
“Our dream as sisters is to make sure mom lives a comfortable life,” she explained. “One sister will finish her education, the other will have some money for her kids’ education, and a couple of us are hoping to do some home renos!”
