An Aberdeen, Saskatchewan man won over $900,000 on a VLT at Soul Wok, according to a Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) news release.
Chris Dieno won the grand jackpot of $932,055.39 on Friday, the release said.
“It all happened so fast,” Dieno said.
“I didn’t think I had won anything until all the lights started flashing – I couldn’t believe it.”
Dieno said he had a few ideas on how to spend the money.
“The very first thing I’m going to buy is a car for my beautiful girlfriend.”
He also said the money will help him make more time for his family.
“I’m going to try and work a little less and spend more quality time with my kids,” he said.
“I think this will help improve all of our lives.”
