The first set of winners for the Manitoba Vax to Win lottery have been drawn.

One of the winners is Bernell Lavallee from Easterville who is now $100,000 dollars richer.

The goal of this lottery was to encourage Manitobans to get vaccinated against COVID 19 and crown services Minister Jeff Wharton would like to thank the hundreds of thousands of people that got vaccinated.

The second lottery draw is expected to take place next month.
