CHARLESTON, W.Va. â West Virginia will step up its prizes for vaccines, enrolling all residents who have received a coronavirus shot into a lottery for the chance to win a college scholarship, an F-150 pickup truck or cash rewards.
Republican Gov. Jim Justice announced the plan for the new incentives Thursday, but more details are expected to be finalized next week. The governor has aimed to turn around a vaccination drive that drastically slowed down after a strong early start.
âWeâre going to make a few West Virginians millionaires before this is over,â Justice said. The program is expected to be paid through federal pandemic relief funds.
