Will This Get You To Get A Shot?

Gov., DeWine unveils a lottery system…to entice people to get COVID-19 shots…offering a weekly $1 million dollar prize…and full-ride college scholarships…in a bid to overcome the vaccine hesitancy that remains a stubborn problem across the nation. The move comes as governors, health officials and community leaders are coming up with creative incentives to get more shots in arms, including insider access to NFL locker rooms and more. With three weeks to go before most state restrictions lift, the governor rolled out the big-ticket incentives during a prime-time address. Beginning May 26, adults who have gotten at least one shot…may enter a lottery that will provide a $1 million dollar prize, every Wednesday for five weeks. In random drawings, the state will also give out five, full four-year scholarships to an Ohio public university…including tuition, room-and-board, and books…to vaccinated Ohioans, under 18. The money comes from existing federal pandemic relief dollars…the Ohio Lottery will conduct the drawings.
