$730,068.96 jackpot awarded in Kelliher!
Kelliher, SK – Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) is pleased to announce a Vault Breaker jackpot prize awarded by the Saskatchewan VLT program. Donald Boucher of Wynyard was awarded $730,068.96 after winning the grand jackpot on Vault Breaker at Club 15 Cheers Tavern in Kelliher on December 16.
“I was pretty excited!” said Boucher. “I laughed, cried, screamed, all the emotions!” The winner said he was chatting with the person sitting next to him when he saw three Vault Breaker icons in a row. When the fourth and fifth fell into place, he could not believe it.
“The third Vault Breaker symbol dropped, and I thought, ‘Oh nice! I won the little pot!’” he laughed. “When the fifth dropped, I started screaming!” Boucher said it didn’t take him long to decide what to do with his windfall: “I’m going to buy a vehicle!” he said. When asked if his win will allow him to live out any dreams, the winner gave a heart-felt response. “My only dream was to marry my wife, and I did that a while ago,” he said. “But this helps us to live a cushier life, and I’m happy for it!”
