Governor Rolls Out ‘Lottery’ For Vaccinated Adults, Offering $1M Payouts
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) announced Wednesday that the state will soon hold lottery drawings exclusively for vaccinated adults, and winners will take home $1 million each.
DeWine revealed the new plan during an address to his state, touting the progress Ohioans have made in the fight against COVID-19 and announcing that state government’s coronavirus restrictions would end as of June 2 — outside of nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
He then offered incentives for more people to get vaccinated against the virus.
“Two weeks from tonight on May 26th, we will announce a winner of a separate drawing for adults who have received at least their first dose of the vaccine,” DeWine explained in a tweet. “This announcement will occur each Wednesday for five weeks, and the winner each Wednesday will receive one million dollars.”
The Republican noted that the drawings would be conducted by the Ohio Lottery, sponsored by the Ohio Department of Health, and “the money will come from existing federal Coronavirus Relief funds.” (Read more from “Governor Rolls Out ‘Lottery’ For Vaccinated Adults, Offering $1M Payouts” HERE)
