On a somber day in La Loche one resident may be smiling after picking up over $130,000 dollars in cash.

Earlier this week Markus Janvier hit the Enchanted Unicorn Jackpot at the Gold Eagle Casino in North Battleford.

The jackpot was sitting at $131,240 when Janvier hit the winning button.

“On behalf of SIGA and the Gold Eagle Casino, I’d like to formally congratulate Mr. Janvier on his win. It’s always exciting to hear bells ringing and see lights flashing on the floor,” said Kelly Atcheynum, the casino’s General Manager in a media release.

The Gold Eagle Casino first opened in 1996 and according to SIGA, the North Battleford casino gets over 28 thousand visitors every month.
