Interlake-Eastern Regional Health Authority Winner of the Vax to Win Lottery
When I found out I won the Vax to Win lottery I phoned my wife right away. I think she was even more excited than I was. At first, I didn’t believe it could be real, like it was too good to be true. I know it’s real now, but part of me still can’t believe I’m going to get a cheque for a hundred grand!
I work in construction and I live in Beausejour. I got vaccinated because I want to travel. My dad owns a place in Mexico, and every couple of years in the winter my wife and I go down with our two kids–one is in high school and one has graduated. Mexico is a place the whole family really enjoys vacationing and we want to go back as soon as we can.
For my COVID vaccine I went to the Super-Site clinic in Selkirk and had two doses of Pfizer, with the first shot in July. I felt fine afterwards, the only side effect was a bit of a sore arm.
Our plans for the winnings are pretty boring. We’re planning to pay off bills and put some money towards the mortgage on our house.
I buy lottery tickets sometimes, but I’ve never won anything before. And this time I won without even having to buy a ticket! I wasn’t thinking about the lottery when I was vaccinated, but I do hope more Manitobans get their shot.
I’ll look forward to celebrating our vaccines and our lottery win with the whole family on a warm getaway to Mexico this coming winter.
