You can now win NHL & CFL tix and VIP sports packages for getting vaxxed in Alberta

As if the government’s catalogue of immunization prize packs couldn’t get any more impressive, they’ve just slapped us with another major announcement – this time, with the sports fanatics in mind! In addition to the travel vouchers, the three $1 million jackpots and the Stampede admission tickets, the Alberta Open For Summer Lottery just added a ton of CFL and NHL packages into the mix.

“We’ve all missed the thrill of watching our favourite teams play to the roar of a cheering crowd. Thanks to Albertans’ hard work at getting vaccinated, we can get back to many of our favourite pastimes and sports as we safely open for summer,” said Premier Jason Kenney in a press release.

“These prizes will help welcome fans back to their seats and are yet another incentive to get vaccinated as soon as you can.”

So what exactly is up for grabs? Let’s check it out!
