SHERWOOD PARK, AB – A Sherwood Park woman is the final recipient of Alberta’s $1 million COVID-19 vaccine lottery.

Hayley Hauck’s name was drawn from over 1,935,000 entries that were received between June 10 and September 23. In total, 623 Albertans have received lottery prizes, including the three $1 million cash prizes, as well as travel, sports and entertainment packages.

To date, 83.6 per cent of eligible Albertans have gotten their first dose a COVID-19 vaccine, including 74.3 per cent who are now fully immunized with two doses.

Minister of Health Jason Copping said, “we know that vaccines are safe and that they save lives.”

“While we have awarded the last $1-million prize, I would like to remind those who are considering getting their doses that there are still $100 debit cards up for grabs. Now, more than ever, we need Albertans to step up and get both doses to protect themselves, their loved ones and their communities.”
