I delstaten Ohio har den republikanske guvernør Mike DeWine fundet på en utraditionel måde at motivere borgerne til at lade sig vaccinere mod covid-19.
Hver uge i fem uger vil delstaten således udlove en pengepræmie på en million dollar – godt seks millioner kroner.
Alle borgere over 18 år, som har fået mindst et vaccinestik, er med i konkurrencen om den store pengepræmie.
Mike Dewine uddyber det utraditionelle iniaitiv på sin Twitter-profil.
The pool of names for the drawing will be derived from the Ohio Secretary of State’s publicly available voter registration database. Further, we will make available a webpage for people to sign up for the drawings if they are not in a database we are using.

To be eligible to win, you must be at least 18 years of age or older on the day of the drawing. You must be an Ohio resident. And, you must be vaccinated before the drawing.
We will have further, specific details tomorrow and in the days ahead.

I know that some may say, “DeWine, you’re crazy! This million-dollar drawing idea of yours is a waste of money.” But truly, the real waste at this point in the pandemic — when the vaccine is readily available to anyone who wants it — is a life lost to COVID-19.
