Lottery for Albertans who get their first vaccine dose
Alberta’s government will hold three draws for $1 million each to incentivize Albertans to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
Beginning June 14, any Alberta resident 18 and older who has received a first dose of vaccine can register to enter for the first $1-million prize. Eligibility for the first $1 million will close seven days after the province beats its Stage 3 target of 70 per cent first-dose vaccination of Albertans 12 and older. The first winner will be announced when Stage 3 of Alberta’s Open for Summer Plan begins.
To encourage more people to get fully vaccinated, two additional lotteries will follow in August and September. Second dose lottery No. 1 winner will be announced on Aug. 31. Second dose lottery No. 2 winner will be announced on Sept. 30. Any Albertan over the age of 18 who receives two doses will be eligible to win one of these additional $1-million prizes.

- Opt-in by registering at alberta.ca/lottery.
- Reside in Alberta at the time of entry and draw.
- Be 18 years of age and older.
- Be able to provide proof of receiving your first dose of an approved vaccine for the first draw and both first and second doses for the second and third draws.

More than 68.7 per cent of eligible Albertans have received their first dose, including 20.2 per cent who are fully vaccinated with two doses.
