Gov. Edwards, Department of Health Announce First Shot At A Million Winners

Gov. John Bel Edwards and the Louisiana Department of Health congratulate the first two lucky Louisianans to be rewarded through the Shot at A Million program for going Sleeves Up against COVID-19.

Clement Dasalla and Skyla Degrasse were selected in the drawing conducted by the Louisiana Lottery Corporation and overseen by the Louisiana Legislative Auditor on July 14.

Dasalla, an 80-year-old New Orleans resident, 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.

“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.”
