Saskatoon, SK – Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) is pleased to announce a Vault Breaker jackpot prize awarded by the Saskatchewan VLT program. Doug Joel of Elrose was awarded $699,559.51 after winning the grand jackpot on Vault Breaker at Elrose Tavern on October 9, 2019.
“I stopped in at the tavern to get a pizza, and decided to play some VLTs while it was cooking,” he said. “I was in such disbelief when the Vault Breaker symbol and the prize amount came up!”
The excited winner said he plans to use some of his windfall for a vacation, and he plans to invest for his retirement.
