Saskatoon, SK – Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) is pleased to announce a Vault Breaker jackpot prize awarded by the Saskatchewan VLT program. Vincent Thompson of La Ronge was awarded $775,685.59 after winning the grand jackpot on Vault Breaker in the lounge of Kosta’s Family Restaurant on January 22, 2020.
“I was in shock; I couldn’t believe it,” Thompson remembered. “I was shaking so much, I almost couldn’t write my name on the ticket.”
The winner said he plans to put his prize towards buying a house and a new vehicle.
“And maybe some new toys,” he laughed.
