WA residents frustrated by inability to confirm eligibility for “Shot of a Lifetime”

OLYMPIA, Wash. — Many Washington residents have been frustrated in their search to see if they’re eligible for the “Shot of a Lifetime” lottery drawing announced by Governor Inslee last week.

The state Department of Health says many haven’t been able to confirm their COVID-19 immunization records on the MyIR Mobile website.

But the department says the data has been transferred to the Washington Immunization Information System and it will be able to pull winners from the pool of state residents who have been vaccinated.

The first drawing for a $250,000 prize is today, Tuesday, June 8th.

Other prizes include airline tickets, gift cards, gaming consoles and tickets to local sporting events.
