Vax-a-Million is not the first time the governor has treated public health like a lottery ticket

Last week, Gov. Mike DeWine announced that Ohioans will be eligible to enter the Vax-a-Million lottery that will pay out $1 million each to five vaccinated adults. Vaccinated teenagers will get in on the fun, too, with five of them receiving full-ride scholarships to one of Ohio s public universities upon proof of jabbing. The drawings will take place over five successive weeks, with the first occurring on Wednesday, May 26, and registration for the lottery opened today (Tuesday, May 18).
The announcement was certainly attention-grabbing and, as a result, Ohio has been national news since the announcement of this scheme. But I think it s worth noting that this is not the first time Governor DeWine has asked us to treat matters of public health like a lottery ticket.
