$801,657.74 jackpot awarded in Weyburn!
Weyburn, SK – Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) is pleased to announce a Vault Breaker jackpot prize awarded by the Saskatchewan VLT program. Dale Schmidt of Weyburn was awarded $801,657.74 after winning the grand jackpot on Vault Breaker at Detour Bar & Grill in Weyburn on September 29.
“What a blur!” said Schmidt while claiming his prize. “I couldn’t believe it – even the next day, it was still completely unbelievable.”
Schmidt said the best part about this win is the financial freedom he’s about to have.
“My wife and I have always said, ‘We just want to be mortgage-free,’” he said. “This will probably help with that.”
The winner said after paying off his mortgage, he also hopes to share some of his windfall with his children.
