“This is how dreams start!”

Martensville, SK – Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) is pleased to announce a Vault Breaker jackpot prize awarded by the Saskatchewan VLT program. Ryan Genest of Martensville was awarded $791,978.62 after winning the grand jackpot on Vault Breaker at Adobe Inn in Martensville on November 30.

“I couldn’t believe it!” said Genest. “I saw the five vault breaker symbols, but I thought that meant I had the chance to win it.”  

The winner said his friend (who was also at Adobe Inn) knew Genest won the jackpot right away.

“He was freaking out,” he laughed. “I was just in shock – I mean, this is how dreams start!”

Genest said he has one big plan for his windfall: “I’m going to invest for retirement, that’s the smart thing to do,” he said. “Freedom 55!”

The winner said he will also treat himself to a warm vacation.
