LETHBRIDGE, AB – The Alberta Government has announced another incentive for residents to get vaccinated.

A new Open for Summer Lottery draw will reward Albertans who have received their first COVID-19 vaccine dose with prize packages from the Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames, Edmonton Elks and Calgary Stampeders.

Over 1.6 million Albertans have already entered the Open for Summer Lottery. It currently includes three draws for $1-million, as well as travel prizes from Air Canada and WestJet, and prizing from the Calgary Stampede. The new draw will give every resident with their first dose who registers for the Open for Summer Lottery by July 22 the chance to win season tickets for football, VIP hockey packages and rounds of golf in Kananaskis. Winner will be announced on July 29.

So far, more than 71.7 per cent of eligible Albertans have gotten their first dose of vaccine, including 38.6 per cent who are now fully immunized with two doses.

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney said, “we’ve all missed the thrill of watching our favourite teams play to the roar of a cheering crowd.”
