In an attempt to coax Ohio residents into getting vaccinated against the Chinese coronavirus, Gov. Mike DeWine (R) announced on Wednesday that vaccinated Ohioans will be entered into a drawing in which five winners will be chosen, each of them winning $1 million in taxpayer money.
Gov. DeWine added that “the Ohio Department of Health will be the sponsoring agency for the drawings, and the Ohio Lottery will conduct them” and noted that “the money will come from existing federal Coronavirus Relief Funds,” which are taxpayer dollars.
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.
