It's Necessary: Gov. Mike DeWonka and the Ohio vaccine lottery
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced Wednesday that he would be lifting all COVID-19-related health orders and mandates in June.
But who cares about that? You could win a million bucks!
DeWine announced a new lottery where Ohio adults who've gotten their COVID-19 vaccines will be eligible to win $1 million, and vaccinated Ohio teens can win full scholarships.
Sure, getting the vaccine could save your life and the life of others and is just the right thing to do. But it's much more fun when it becomes a Willy Wonka-esque contest to get the golden ticket, er, winning vaccine shot.
Experts say yes:Will Ohio's $1 million vaccine lottery motivate people to get the shot?
