Ouellette said she was in shock when she won the big prize and was shaking and “completely in shock” as she cashed in the ticket.

She said she already has some plans for the windfall.

“I want to put most of it away,” Ouellette said in a statement.

“Eventually, I’m going to look for a new car. And maybe buy a house.”

The Vault Breaker jackpot links 4,200 VLTs at 570 sites in 270 communities around Saskatchewan. Since 2017, the jackpot has paid out more than $44 million to 46 winners.

This wasn’t the first time a VLT at the Coachman had paid out more than a million dollars. In 2019, Kevin Olsen was awarded $1,149,131.61 after winning the Vault Breaker.
