$517,413.66 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. Angela Yaganiski of Saskatoon was awarded $517,413.66 after winning the grand jackpot on Vault Breaker at Confederation Inn Corp. in Saskatoon on May 4.
“I didn’t think I would [win it],” explained Yaganiski. “The fourth Vault Breaker icon came down and I thought, ‘Oh, my God! I won $18,000!’”
“I was already crying,” she continued. “When the last symbol came down, I was in shock – I never thought this would happen to me!”
While the new winner said she plans to be smart with her windfall, she’s also looking forward to sharing the excitement with loved ones.
“I’m definitely going to spoil the grandkids,” she laughed. “We only have two, so it will be fun!”
“My husband and I also have our 35th wedding anniversary coming up – that itself is a huge milestone,” she said. “To think about how life can be a little bit easier for us now is a huge blessing!”
