Parking along stretches of Franklin Avenue in downtown is free on Friday.

Green bags over parking metres indicate spots that are free for use.

The spots are sponsored by the NWT and Nunavut Lotteries, as part of a campaign to promote Zing scratch tickets.

A Yellowknifer recently won $1 million in a Lotto Max lottery earlier this week, but the name of the winner has not been announced.
