Hudson Bay, SK – Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) is pleased to announce a Vault Breaker jackpot prize awarded by the Saskatchewan VLT program. Don Moore of Hudson Bay was awarded $1,484,688.33 after winning the grand jackpot on Vault Breaker at Desrochers Hotel in Hudson Bay on September 17.
Moore said when he discovered the win, he was stunned.
“My knees were weak,” he said. “It took me a while to come to terms with how much I’d won.”
The Hudson Bay winner said he has some plans with his winnings, now that the excitement has begun to settle down.
“I’m going to buy a different vehicle,” he said. “Most of it will be locked into savings.”
“My plan for next summer is to follow the World Professional Chuckwagon Association,” he smiled.
