He said he stopped at the restaurant simply because he was hungry and decided to try out the VLTs while he was there. After the win, he said he wasn’t sure exactly what to do.
“I paid the bills for everyone else in Boston Pizza and called the lottery office,” Lepage said in a news release.
He said he’s going to pay some bills with the big windfall, then take his family on a holiday.
“There is something about being debt-free in this day and age,” he added. “What a gift!”
The Vault Breaker jackpot links 4,200 VLTs at 570 locations around the province, and has paid out more than $50 million to 51 different winners since June of 2017.
