Many people who are planning on getting vaccinated against COVID-19 have already done so, but plenty of governments haven't given up on incentivizing those who remain. Some have even turned to vaccine lotteries, wherein someone gets entered into a draw for millions of dollars when they get their shot.

If you've gotten the vaccine in Saskatchewan, however, don't expect that shot to turn you into a millionaire. Unlike neighboring provinces Alberta and Manitoba, Saskatchewan will not be putting on a vaccine lottery. 

"In this part of the world, you're already winning just by getting vaccinated and having the opportunity to get vaccinated," said Premier Scott Moe. "In this province, 92 percent of our new COVID cases are people that, for some reason or another, are not vaccinated at this time."

According to the Premier, 82 percent of hospitalizations at the moment are also in people who are not vaccinated. In his view, that's incentive enough without adding on any financial benefit to getting your first shot. 

"Here's what you win: you get to protect yourself from COVID," he said. "Those numbers show that vaccines do work and they work very well. You get to protect your family, your friends, your loved ones and everyone around you from this COVID virus."

One of the first places to put a vaccine lottery in place was Ohio, and they saw an immediate uptick in vaccinations relative to the rest of the country. Although the government in Saskatchewan has publicly stated they want to get over the last hurdle and reach the few people who are not yet vaccinated, a lottery does not appear to be on the table here.

"Another win would be is if enough of us get our first dose and ultimately our second dose," said Moe, "in addition to keeping yourself safe, your loved ones and your family members, you and your community and ultimately your province will be able to move forward with phase three reopening and continue to remove all of the restrictions we've had in place for over a year now."

Saskatchewan's third step of reopening depends on 70 percent of adults having had their first dose of the vaccine. As of Tuesday, just over 69 percent of adults have gotten that first dose. To remove masking and gathering restrictions, 70 percent of people age 12 and over will need their first dose, a number which now stands at 67. The earliest these restrictions would lift is July 11.
