Mar 9, 2025
SASKATOON, SK – Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) is pleased to announce a Vault Breaker jackpot prize awarded by the Saskatchewan VLT program. Bruce Cartman of Langham was awarded $1,475,873.68 after winning the grand jackpot on Vault Breaker at the Travelodge Hotel in Saskatoon on March 9!
Cartman said his wife noticed the Vault Breaker jackpot was getting up there and suggested they go to play.
“I didn’t really want to go!” Cartman laughed. “But then I thought, ‘Ok, let’s go!’”
“I was shocked,” he chuckled. “The first thing I said out loud was: ‘Now I can retire!’”
And retire is exactly what Cartman will do – after he completes a few prior obligations.
“I plan to retire… but not right away,” he said. “I have some commitments to uphold, and my word is everything.”
The winner said he also plans to pay off his mortgage and upgrade his boat.

Any of the three jackpot tiers can be awarded when a patron plays Vault Breaker.
