19h ago
The Saskatchewan Roughriders didn't practise up to their standard on Tuesday.
Alicia Brass broke the bank.
The Canora woman took home $811,843.81 after winning the grand jackpot on Vault Breaker on a VLT at the Lunn Hotel in Canora on Feb. 16.
“I knew I won but I didn’t realize how much I won. I just cashed out,” Brass said in a media release issued Monday by the Western Canada Lottery Corporation. “I only realized what I won when my boss pointed it out to me.
“It was a lot to take in. I was shaking at the time.”
Brass plans to buy a house, share some of her winnings with her family and put some into savings.
