Pierceland’s Chester Kiseyinewakup says he’s thinking about buying a new truck – and paying in cash – after winning more than half a million dollars at a VLT last week.
Kiseyinewakup won the Vault Breaker grand jackpot at the Pierceland Hotel on Wednesday, claiming a total of $539,461.14. He said the win made a big splash at the bar.

“I was yelling at the screen for the symbols to stop,” Kiseyinewakup said in a statement.
“It was total chaos in the bar as we were all just screaming,” he added. “Everyone was so happy for me!”
He said he’s not sure exactly how to spend the big windfall, but plans to share some of the “life-changing money” with his kids and said he’d love to pay for a new vehicle in cash.
