New York State is launching a new “Vax & Scratch” lottery program that will offer people $20 scratch-off lottery tickets for a $5 million Mega prize if they get vaccinated.
Governor Andrew Cuomo announced the pilot program at a press conference earlier today, saying it was launched to encourage more people to go out and get the Covid–19 vaccine by offering a top prize of $5 million and several lower prizes as well.
The “Vax & Scratch” lottery program will run from May 24 to May 28 at 10 mass state-run vaccination sites.
