Manitoba has announced the winners in the first Vaccination Lottery.
“First and foremost I would like to thank the hundreds of thousands of people who have done their part and have been vaccinated as we responded to COVID-19 together,” said Crown Services Minister Jeff Wharton. “I would like to congratulate not only the winners, but everyone who has been immunized – you have helped protect yourself, your loved ones and our province.”
The winners of $100,000 each are:
- Kerry Maskiew, Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA);
- Garth Deleske, WRHA;
- Trent Fingler, WRHA;
- Jacqueline Martel, Southern Health–Santé Sud health region;
- John Lyons, Prairie Mountain Health region;
- Dustin McDuffe, Interlake–Eastern Regional Health Authority; and
- Bernell Lavallee, Northern Health Region.
In addition to the main lottery, 10 lucky winners of $25,000 scholarships were also drawn and their names will be released in the near future.
The next lottery deadline is Monday September 6, 2021. To be eligible you must have received your second dose of vaccine on or before that date.
