#Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced a new incentive to get young people vaccinated for #Covid: the state will be awarding $1 million to #vaccinated adults 18 and older each week for the next five weeks. “I know that some may say, ‘DeWine, you’re crazy! This million-dollar drawing idea of yours is a waste of money,’” the governor said in a tweet. “But truly, the real waste at this point in the pandemic — when the vaccine is readily available to anyone who wants it — is a life lost to COVID-19.” The state’s lottery system is conducting the raffle, using the Ohio Secretary of State’s publicly available voter registration database to pool candidates. People can also sign up online to be part of the giveaway if they are not registered voters. For teens ages 12 to 17, #DeWine said the state has a separate lottery planned. The state will randomly award a “full, four-year scholarship” to attend state universities in Ohio each Wednesday for five weeks. Link in @cnbc bio for full details.
