California is hopping on the trend of cash prizes for vaccinated individuals in hopes that the incentive will stimulate its plateauing vaccination rate.
Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Thursday that the state is offering the nation s largest vaccine prize money $116.5 million to get millions more inoculated before the state s reopening next month.
“This is all in an effort to incentivize and build momentum,” Newsom said.
Ten vaccinated residents 12 years and older will have the chance to win $1.5 million dollars apiece, and another 30 will win $50,000 each on June 4 and June 11. Anyone 12 and older who has received at least one shot will be eligible, even if they have already received their shot.
