Governor Announces More About Vaccine Prizes; Starts June 20

Gov. Jim Justice announced more details about a weekly lottery style drawing of prizes for state residents who have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine that will kick off Father’s Day and run through Aug. 4. The Father’s Day giveaways will include a $1 million prize; two full, four-year scholarships to any higher education in the state (residents ages 12 to 25 are eligible); two custom-outfitted pickup trucks; 25 weekend getaways to state parks; five lifetime hunting and fishing licenses; and five custom hunting rifles and five custom hunting shotguns. Justice said residents will have to register to be eligible for the prizes, and a website is under development where registrations will be accepted. Drawings will be held weekly once they start on Father’s Day and will run through Aug. 4.
