Landis Menard, 25, of Fairfield, has been announced as the winner of the 2022 Vermont lifetime hunting and fishing license lottery, entitling him to hunt and fish in the state for free for the rest of his life. Menard's name was drawn from among 18,782 lifetime license lottery tickets purchased in 2022. The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department holds the drawing annually.
This year’s sale of the $2 tickets brought net sales of $37,445 to the fish and wildlife department. These state dollars can be leveraged with federal funds to produce more than $149,000 to support the department’s mission to conserve fish, wildlife, plants and their habitats.
