In related news, the COVID-19 vaccination campaign will select one winner of $3,000 on Facebook Live tomorrow at 5pm on Road to 80’s Facebook page. Next Friday, Aug. 20, the campaign will raffle off $3,500.
This raffle, as with past and future raffles hosted by Road to 80, is available only to the CNMI’s population that has received a COVID-19 vaccine. According to vaccinatecnmi.com’s Vax Dashboard, almost 33,000 people are eligible for this Friday’s and all future raffles.
After Friday, the next upcoming raffles are as follows: $3,500 on Aug. 20; $4,000 on Aug. 27; and Road to 80’s “Grand Finale” on Aug. 28 at the Taste of the Marianas main stage, when there will be six raffles: three $2,500 raffles exclusive to Saipan, Tinian, and Rota’s respective vaccinated populations; and three CNMI-wide raffles to announce one winner each for $5,000; $15,000; and a 2020 Nissan Rogue Sport.
For winners to claim their prize, they must submit proof that they are fully vaccinated. For those who received the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna vaccines, this means providing the second vaccine confirmation number. Those who received the Johnson & Johnson or Janssen vaccines only need to provide their single vaccine confirmation number.
