“I was surprised,” she explained in a statement. “And there was no one around me – I was talking to myself!”
Hodgson said she has a couple of plans for the big windfall.
“I’m going to pay off my house and help my elderly parents,” she stated. “I’ll take a vacation with some family and friends, too.”
“I’m also going to retire early,” Hodgson continued. “This is great – life changing!”
The province-wide jackpot has awarded $57,803,562.01 to 58 winners since June 2017. Vault Breaker’s province-wide grand jackpot has now been reset to $500,000.
Avonlea is located 78 kilometres southwest of Regina.
