$1,455,892.44 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. Marc Lepage of Saskatoon was awarded $1,455,892.44 after winning the grand jackpot on Vault Breaker at the Boston Pizza on Nelson Road in Saskatoon on April 29!
“I was hungry and thought I’ll stop at Boston Pizza,” he explained while claiming his prize. “I decided I’d try out the VLTs while I was there.”
“Wouldn’t you know it, I hit the Vault Breaker!” he laughed.
After seeing how much he won, Lepage said he was unsure what the next steps were.
“I didn’t know what to do,” he laughed. “So, I paid the bills for everyone else in Boston Pizza and called the lottery office.”
Lepage said he has a few ideas for his windfall.
“I’m going to pay some bills and take my family on a holiday,” he explained.
“There is something about being debt-free in this day and age – what a gift!” he smiled.
