$1,368,380.52 jackpot awarded in Saskatoon!
Saskatoon, SK – Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) is pleased to announce a Vault Breaker jackpot prize awarded by the Saskatchewan VLT program. Daniel Bokshowan of Saskatoon was awarded $1,368,380.52 after winning the grand jackpot on Vault Breaker at Tapps Sports Lounge and Grill in Saskatoon on March 27th.
Bokshowan is new to playing Vault Breaker. So new, in fact, that when he won the jackpot, he wasn’t exactly sure what he won.
“I chose a game that had the Vault Breaker option even though I had no idea about it, but knew [the prize] was high,” he remembered. “I got five symbols and thought, ‘This should be something good!’”
Before hitting the Vault Breaker, Bokshowan joked about winning.
“I told the waitress, ‘I’m going to win millions!’” he laughed. “I was kidding, but when I showed my ticket to her, we were both in shock!”
The winner said he has a couple ideas for his windfall.
“I had a couple days to think about it,” he said. “I have a sister, so I will likely share [the prize] with her.”
“I might look into a new car,” he continued. “I travelled the world with my job and met a family from Mongolia. They moved here. There are three kids in that family… I may help set up a university fund [for them].”
Vault Breaker is a wide-area progressive that links 4,200 VLTs located in more than 550 sites in nearly 270 communities across the province. There are three mystery jackpot tiers: the province-wide grand jackpot has a minimum value of $500,000 and pays out before it hits $1.5 million, the regional major jackpot has a minimum value of $5,000 and pays out before it hits $25,000, and the local site jackpot minimum is $100 and pays out before hitting $500. Any of the three jackpot tiers can be awarded when a patron plays Vault Breaker.
The province-wide jackpot has awarded $61,392,804.40 to 61 winners since June 2017. Vault Breaker’s province-wide grand jackpot has now been reset to $500,000.
