There you have it, folks – do they have your attention?

If they do, there are a few things to mention before you click out of this article because while these prizes are like others that have been announced as part of the lottery, eligibility will differ due to their nature.

In addition to all participants having to be 18 years or older and possess proof that they’ve been immunized with an approved vaccine, Albertas will actually have to re-register to be entered into this particular draw – which will be held on September 17th.

To do so – check out their website here and fill in your information as you did at the beginning of this month before September 10th at midnight.

Also, please remember to be safe, wash your hands and be kind to one another! It may look like we’re out of the woods, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.
