Ohio is giving a big financial shot in the arm so that residents can be vaccinated against COVID-19.
Village. Mike Devine announced on Wednesday that Bakay State would give one lakh rupees to every five lucky people who have received at least one dose of coronovirus vaccination.
“Two weeks from the night of May 26, we will announce a winner of a separate drawing for adults who have received at least the first dose of the vaccine,” Republican tweeted.
“This announcement will be for five weeks each Wednesday, and the winner will receive one million dollars each Wednesday.”
Devine said the name will be taken from the publicly available voter registration database by the Ohio Lottery, and a separate website where residents will be able to sign up.
According to the governor, to be eligible for the cash – which is being withdrawn from the COVID-19 Relief Fund – winners must be 18 or older to be vaccinated.
DeWine also took to Twitter to address that critics who claim sweepstakes are a waste of money.
“The real waste at this point in the epidemic – when the vaccine is readily available to anyone who wants it – has lost a life to COVID-19,” he wrote.
Ohio’s program puts vaccination awards in jeopardy in front of New York – like the weekly MetroCard and two-week City Bike membership – like little potatoes.
About 37 percent of Ohio’s population is already fully vaccinated, slightly above the nationwide average. Our world in data.
