For five Massachusetts adults and another five Bay State adolescents, the COVID-19 vaccine will prove to be an extra lucky shot.
The Baker administration will partner with Treasurer Deborah Goldberg and the Massachusetts Lottery to launch a VaxMillions giveaway in July, offering $1 million prizes to five adults 18 and older and $300,000 college scholarships to five adolescents between 12 and 17.
With the rate of new vaccinations slowing in recent weeks, officials unveiled the lottery on Tuesday the same day that Massachusetts surpassed 4 million residents fully vaccinated as the latest step in an effort to reach those who still have not been immunized against the highly infectious virus.
