Lottery prizes are now up for grabs for vaccinated Manitobans.
The provincial government will be offering nearly $2 million in cash and scholarships to encourage more Manitobans to get the shot this summer. Premier Brian Pallister announced the lottery prizes with Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries president and CEO Manny Atwal this morning. This lottery gives Manitobans a reason to move faster to roll up your sleeves, not once, but twice, Pallister said during the news conference.
