Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Arkansas Scholarship Lottery tickets that the state purchased to incentivize COVID-19 vaccinations could be wasted if they aren t claimed.
Officials said the scratch-off game, the $1 Million Spectacular, is expected to be phased out by the end of the year. When asked what they ll do with unclaimed tickets, officials said they re considering their options.
The state used more than $1.5 million in Federal CARES Act funds on two incentive programs. Residents vaccinated after May 26 are eligible for a $20 scratch off- ticket or a $20 voucher from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission to purchase a fishing or small hunting license. The vouchers don t expire until June 2023.
