McElligott was out with some friends on June 7 when she got lucky.

After watching the prize number climb, McElligott said she has a few ideas for how to spend the cash.
“This money will help so much,” she said. “I’d like to buy a car, invest and pay off my student loans.”
She’s also got a few long-term plans.
“I’ve always wanted to travel and buy a home one day,” McElligott said. “This will help!”
She won what’s called a Vault Breaker jackpot awarded by the Saskatchewan VLT program.
