Clement Dasalla and Skyla Degrasse were the first-round winners in the lottery for Louisiana residents who received a COVID vaccine shot and entered to win the grand prize of one million dollars.
Dasalla, an 80-year-old New Orleans resident and NOPD veteran, won the first of four $100,000 Shot At A Million cash prizes. Degrasse, a 17-year-old from Hammond, won the first of nine $100,000 scholarships. She told Edwards she plans to go to Southeastern Louisiana University when she graduates from high school.
“Congratulations to Clement and Skyla for being our first Shot At A Million winners and for getting the COVID-19 vaccine so they can protect themselves and others. All across Louisiana, more and more people like Clement and Skyla are choosing to go Sleeves Up — and right now you have four more chances to join them as Shot At A Million winners,” said Gov. Edwards. “Now more than ever, we need our people to be protected against COVID-19 and, thankfully, we have three safe and effective vaccines that will do just that. So, go get your first vaccine and then register at ShotAtAMillion.com.
Together, we can end the COVID pandemic in Louisiana.”
