$691,127.42 VLT jackpot awarded in Bethune
Saskatoon, SK – Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) is pleased to announce a Vault Breaker jackpot prize awarded by the Saskatchewan VLT program. Bethune local Lee Ann McCann was awarded a staggering $691,127.42 after winning the grand jackpot on Vault Breaker at the Bethune Bar and Grill on December 26.
“I was stunned,” laughed McCann while claiming her prize in Regina. “Just in shock. I was so excited when I thought was going to win $6,000, but then it told me I’d won the jackpot and the whole bar started to hoot and holler!”
The winner said she plans to use her winnings to help out her daughter and son, buy a lakefront cabin, and then invest the rest.
“There’s this lake where I grew up and I’ve always wanted a property out there,” she explained. “It’s been a dream for years.”
