Ohio to give five residents $1 million dollars each in vaccine lottery

The state of Ohio will award five vaccinated residents $1 million dollars each in an effort to raise vaccination percentages, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced Wednesday.

"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. This announcement will occur each Wednesday for five weeks, and the winner each Wednesday will receive one million dollars," DeWine said in a tweet thread Wednesday.  The drawings will be conducted by the Ohio lottery, DeWine said. All Ohio residents over the age of 18 are eligible, so long as they have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
