Lloydminster – A Tulliby Lake, Alta., woman is $1,318,384.87 richer after winning SIGA’s Smoke Signals jackpot. Joanne Hennings won the top tier progressive jackpot at Gold Horse Casino on March 16, 2020, the evening that all casinos in Saskatchewan closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
When asked how excited she was about the big win, Hennings says, “I was in total awe! I didn’t even realize that I had won anything.” Brenda plans to spend some of her winnings on a nice vacation with her family.
“On behalf of SIGA’s Board of Directors, management and staff, I would like to congratulate Joanne on becoming the newest member of SIGA’s millionaire club,” says SIGA President and CEO Zane Hansen
To date, SIGA’s Smoke Signals progressive has paid out $42,668,718.91, with $19,216,718.67 of that amount from the top tier. Smoke Signals has been reset to one million dollars and can be won at any time.
