Saskatoon, SK – Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) is pleased to announce a Vault Breaker jackpot prize awarded by the Saskatchewan VLT program. Craig Hutchison of Regina was awarded $688,054.53 after winning the grand jackpot on Vault Breaker at Barley Mill Brew Pub on April 2.
"I was out with the boys for an indoor golf night. After golfing, we went to the Barley Mill," he remembered.
"I looked over at the guys and said, ‘I have the Vault Breaker Bonus. When the fifth Vault Breaker hit, everyone started jumping and cheering. I stood up with my arms in the air – in shock!"
The winner said he plans to put his winnings towards buying a house. He also hopes to be able to take a dream vacation with his wife for their 10th wedding anniversary.
