“I’m going to put it towards my savings and retirement, maybe I’ll buy a new truck and storage trailer,” he said.
The Vault Breaker jackpot prize is awarded by the Saskatchewan VLT program. The Vault Breaker is a wide-area progressive game that links 4,200 VLTs located in approximately 570 sites in 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,” according to a release. “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.”
There have been 21 winners since June 2017 in the province where $20,395,529.69 was awarded. The Vault Breaker’s province-wide grand jackpot has now been reset to $500,000.
