In an attempt to increase the number of people getting vaccinated all kind of incentives are being given in the US, one of the most interesting is that those that get at least the first dose of the vaccine at Ohio will have a chance to win one million dollars, apparently there will five be prizes so a total five million dollars will be given for those that are willing to take the vaccine, and for those that are below the age of 18 there will be full scholarships being offered as well.

What do you think of this? Do you agree with what the governor of Ohio is doing or are you against it?

So how long will this happening ? how many draws to be considered the whole process of injecting ?

because if this will be for single day then this is not a good idea at all. because after the first draw then the interest will stop ..


In fact this is already over the last winner was announced the previous Wednesday and it does not seem as if there are going to be more millions to give, but it is fine, this increased the number of people being vaccinated and this is going to help the economy in that state to flourish while the people got a free vaccine to protect them from the virus, so everyone won even if they did not got money out of this.

Human life costs more than $ 1,000,000 ...

Currently, the planet Earth is being vaccinated against the Covid-19 coponavirus in many countries around the world.  How effective is this measure? 

I dont know. 

I'm a skeptic. 

We know very little about viruses.  In theory, the simultaneous vaccination of all inhabitants of the Earth (with a vaccine of the same type) can stop the epidemic.  However, vaccination cannot be carried out during a pandemic.  It is very dangerous to be vaccinated with different types of vaccines.  Vaccination cannot be partial, it must be complete. 

Humanity runs the risk of provoking a mutation of the virus.  Virus is a living organism.  His goal is to survive. 

It may not disappear, but, on the contrary, become more deadly and infectious.

While that is a good act to made people vaccinated yet we cannot deny the fact that we are talking life here and we cannot just risk this for amount of money because life is valueless.

Like my mother in which having complications , we will never let Her go vaccinated because of the issue that comes from the vaccine coming from China.
I understand your concern and right now everyone has the right to choose whether to be vaccinated or not
the body of the elderly is very vulnerable and the chance of getting complications is very large, the coronavirus continues to mutate and this time the delta variant has mutated again, so vaccinations will continue to be injected into the human body

which makes me curious about the policy in Ohio whether it is accepted by everyone
because it is citizens' money that comes from taxes that are used as lottery prizes and not all citizens agree with vaccination
People who have another disease will not prioritize first because they need to consult with their doctor before getting vaccinated. If their doctor said it is okay to vaccinate, they could get a letter from the doctor to go to the hospital and get vaccinated.

Yes, the virus already mutated to a new variant, making many governments worry about the spreading because it is attacking people. They got a fast reaction because of the virus. It needs more attention from people to always be careful, not going to the public if it is not necessary, and more care with their health. The virus attacks so many people right now, but the vaccine still distributes to people to help them prevent the infection.

That lottery attracts people's attention to come and inject the vaccine to get protection from the virus. But still, they need always to follow the health protocol.

I do not live in Russia but maybe this is a cultural thing? While in many countries there is the culture of going to the doctor at the first sign of problems there are other countries in which people prefer to not go to the doctor unless they are feeling really sick, and since this virus at the beginning seems only like the flu some people may underestimate it and think they do not need a vaccine for it, it is odd but it is the only explanation I can think for what it is happening in Russia.

I am being told that the population in general doesn't trust the authorities in Russia. But the attitudes must change now. Because the Sputnik V vaccine is now approved in close to 70 countries, and real life studies (not clinical trials) have shown an efficacy ranging from 94% to 97%. If people still refuse to have the vaccine, then I can only sympathize with them. Heard that so far there have been close to half a million deaths in Russia. That is a huge number, for a country with a population of just 145 million.

4th set of winners have been annouced. Suzanne Ward received $1 million, while Sean Horning received the college sponsorship. The fourth week saw a total of 3,428,514 entries for the $1 million prize, and another 150,187 entries from those who are aged 12-17 (they are not allowed to participate in lotteries having cash prizes) for the college sponsorship draw. This was a great move from the governor (Mike DeWine). The lottery not only boosted the vaccination numbers in Ohio, but also created a hype all over the United States and many of the other states announced similar measures, encouraged by the success in Ohio.


Ohio has a good immunization campaign program for the constituents of their country and I can say that they are all a lucky even if they don't win the lottery prize of $1 million because the government services is into the constituents meaning to say that the government really has a good plans for their constituents. But of course those who have had win the lottery prizes and those young ones who have had get their college sponsorship is very lucky to have this kind of opportunity came to their life. How I'd really wish that here in our country the government also prioritizes the constituents concern.

Actually still depends on a certain countries capability when it comes to these kind of supports and initiatives to be done onto their vicinity because not all would really be having that kind of capability since they do lack of funds or something and considering that not all would be having the same in terms of that manner which its really indeed a bit lucky into those countries where they do live where living is a bit advantageous plus having the good governance and minding really off into their citizens condition and priorities in terms of health.This doesnt only give out the chance on making someone millionaire but rather on the concern that they should really take the shot for their own safety.

By the way, in my country (Russia), a lot of financial incentives also appeared, including lotteries for those who decided to get vaccinated. But given the fact that all vaccines on the territory of the country, except for domestic ones, are prohibited, this causes great distrust and my country continues to be among the least vaccinated countries.

I don't understand the situation there. Perhaps Russia is a the only country with a surplus stock of vaccines. And despite so many deaths, the people doesn't want to get vaccinated (only 13% of the population has received at least one dose). I heard that the Russians don't trust the Sputnik V vaccine, despite the fact that it is showing 94% to 97% efficacy according to the data from countries where it is used. If that is the case, then they can blame themselves. Here in India, we are struggling to get enough vaccines. And in Russia these retards don't want to get vaccinated despite one of the best vaccines available to them.

The prize is for some people who really luckiest to win the lottery and yes, their lives will change if they can win on that. But for the other people, hopefully, they can still get something from the government. Maybe that will not in the form of money, but something worth for their life. The lottery can still attract more people to volunteer themselves to get vaccinated.

4th set of winners have been annouced. Suzanne Ward received $1 million, while Sean Horning received the college sponsorship. The fourth week saw a total of 3,428,514 entries for the $1 million prize, and another 150,187 entries from those who are aged 12-17 (they are not allowed to participate in lotteries having cash prizes) for the college sponsorship draw. This was a great move from the governor (Mike DeWine). The lottery not only boosted the vaccination numbers in Ohio, but also created a hype all over the United States and many of the other states announced similar measures, encouraged by the success in Ohio.

If that lottery still continues, I think sooner or later, people will want to be vaccinated, which means more people will have a way to prevent the virus. The winner can get the money for their life and survive in this pandemic which really helps them solve their finances. The vaccine will help more people. If that succeeds, the other states might follow what they did and that program really helps their people to survive.

i see this is a good campaign....i think ohio was the first to do this and it's really a tantalizing attraction.  Ohio people are really very lucky with this policy, it really can change their lives 180% just by joining the vaccination program.

That would be an interesting question however I think it had an impact, there was a slowdown on the rate at which people were being vaccinated and when this was announced the vaccination program caught speed again which will most likely indicate it had a positive effect among those which were doubtful.

Also here it is the fourth winners of the lottery, just one more to go for this to be over.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/week-4-vax-a-million-winners-set-to-speak-with-ohio-gov-dewine-thursday-morning/ar-AAL9l0V
This made an impact.

And I think other cities had also made their own offers so that the people will be encouraged to take the vaccine.

It boosted confidence of the people and those that only wants to have a lottery ticket and other possible prizes, they've just taken the vaccine because of it. But well, they've been vaccinated no matter what, win or no announcement, it's still a win for their local.
Wouldnt matter on what are the situation as long they would be vaccinated then thats what government is been aiming on since from the start and it is just great that at least their government is showing off some concern into its citizens to take the shot and wont really be having those kind of hesitance and this is why these kind of ideas do come out because there are people who cant really be forced on doing so. One million prize for possible hit on lottery when you do take a shot but it would be better if they had divided  the prize into smaller parts at least lots would really benefit out and not just single entity and at least that will help them amidst of this pandemic.
And now those people that can't be forced has to think of it. Since there's still one more slot for the $1M prize.

They should rush to take the vaccine to acquire that lotto ticket. They'll never know if they're the next and last $1M winner.

And we have yet another winner, the third winner of the lottery was announced yesterday, this time the governor was with him when the news was revealed, things are progressing nicely at Ohio but after this ends there is no guarantee there are going to be more prizes after the five millions are finally distributed, personally I do not see this as a bad thing as by this point Ohio should be well underway to achieve herd immunity and the goal of the whole exercise should be achieved by now.

It could be worth asking the guy or gal if the fact that there was a lottery made any difference in the decision of taking the jab or jabs. My take is that nobody will answer that honestly yes... either you believe that the vaccine is going to be useful for you and the risk benefit is worth it or you don´t. I think this is much more about getting a "noticeable" event that will appear in the media and gain those minutes of free air time from TV than a real encouragement anyway.

If only the reward prize was allocated into much smaller but still decent, many will be encouraged to have a vaccine shot.

$10,000 as a base example reward is already a decent prize. With millions as a fixed price to each, only a few will have a chance to get rewarded.

A jackpot of $10,000 is not going to encourage a lot of people to have the vaccine. Because it is not an extra-ordinary amount. On the other hand, $1 million has its own shock value and a lot of lower class and middle class people who would not take the vaccine otherwise would be tempted to go for it. So I am in for 5 prizes of $1 million, rather than 500 smaller prizes of $10,000 each. Anyway, the Ohio governor knows what is the best for his state, and at this point it will be best for us to support him in this initiative.
