Karrie Kkailther said she was shocked and confused at first, but soon she realized what had happened – she’d won more than a million dollars on a Saskatoon VLT.
Kkailther, who lives in Fond du Lac, won the Vault Breaker jackpot at the Travelodge Hotel in Saskatoon on Tuesday, leaving her $1,254,350.87 richer.
“I didn’t know how much I won – I had to run to my boyfriend to ask how much it really was!” Kkailther said in a statement.
Even days after her win, she said it still feels surreal.
