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.
