Big Turnout For Vax A Million

Hundreds of thousands of people have entered Ohio’s vaccine lottery…that will award five $1 million dollar prizes…and five full-ride college scholarships…in a promotion to increase coronavirus vaccinations. Health official say vaccination numbers have been going up, lately. The Ohio Department of Health fielded more than 60,000 calls about the lottery yesterday…with the Vax-a-Million website receiving more than 25 million hits. The Health Department says it will release the total number of entrants on May, 24th… after the first names are drawn and the verification process is completed. Winners must be permanent Ohio residents and have received at least one dose of the vaccine, meaning the first person drawn by the state might not be the eventual winner.
