Saskatoon, SK – Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) is pleased to announce a Vault Breaker jackpot prize awarded by the Saskatchewan VLT program. Louisa Halkett of Prince Albert was awarded $1,468,781.43 after winning the grand jackpot on Vault Breaker at the Ramada Prince Albert on June 1.

“At first, I thought I had just won the smaller jackpot,” said Halkett while claiming her prize in Saskatoon. “When I looked at the amount on the screen I said, ‘Oh my … God! Really?!’ I was so surprised.”

The winner said she is going to put her new winnings toward the purchase of a house and new truck. She said she also hopes to take a vacation in Banff when it’s safe to do so.

Vault Breaker is a wide-area progressive that links 4,200 VLTs located in approximately 570 sites in 270 communities across the province. There are three mystery jackpot tiers: the province-wide grand jackpot has a minimum value of $500,000 and pays out before it hits $1.5 million, the regional major jackpot has a minimum value of $5,000 and pays out before it hits $25,000, and the local site jackpot minimum is $100 and pays out before hitting $500. Any of the three jackpot tiers can be awarded when a patron plays Vault Breaker.
