I mean, I get why they are doing it, but everyone who got it already is just you know, out of luck. Also, why 1 mill, just make it 50 people per week get $100k and make it tax free.

Seriously 1 mill is gonna be almost half that after taxes anyway, and 500k while a ton and life changing for 1 person, isn't going to have nearly as much of an effect as 100k would for 50 people. If they do that every week for 2 months, that is 400 people who would get $100k.

There is less then 12million people total in Ohio, and 30% of em are too young to qualify for the vaccine. That leaves about 8 million people. Of those 8 million 4.27 million have been fully vacinated already (more have just had one shot, so would not qualify for the lottery).

That means less than 4 million people could qualify, so 400 people is 1 in 10k people would get 100k, best lottery chances ever.

With it only being 5 people you make it 1 in 100k people, not nearly as good odds (still bad odds mind you, but....would certainly motivate people to get the shot!).

Who are these 5 people and what sets them apart from everyone else? The way things have gone lately I'd suspect they're already vaccinated and this was a way to funnel money to people who are already wealthy or the relatives of some politician.

Actually, if you already got the shot you still qualify. They are drawing from voter registration, and the only requirement is to be vaccinated before the drawing.

I'm in Ohio, there is a lot of people here still unvaccinated, and appointments at pharmacies are going unfilled. I think we have something like 41% eligible people unvaccinated still.

Also, there will be one drawing for those under 18, in which they will receive a full 4 year scholarship to OU.

Just doubled checked.

Yep. You don't even need both doses, you need at least one before the drawing.

I imagine it's all registered voters in Ohio, so vaccine site is probably irrelevant. Where I am a bunch of people work in KY and IN, and got vaccines through their employers. I would imagine they are eligible as well.

The title made me think 5 people were opposed to getting vaccinated until they were offered $1 Million in exchange. It now sounds like they get a lottery ticket with no guarantee of receiving anything.

Then a new strain of the virus is announced, everything goes into lockdown again, and it no longer matters that they got vaccinated. Like I said, no guarantee.

Our govener maybe making a run for president, so I imagine he wants the state vaccinated and fully open asap, not that he wouldn't regardless.

He's actually pretty moderate, and supported the 2020 election results, so he might not be crazy enough for the modern GQP.

Not really, no. Notice how nobody else thought anything of the sort?
