California residents who get vaccinated against COVID-19 could become millionaires, as state Governor Gavin Newsom on Thursday launched \"Vax for the Win,\" a new multi-faceted vaccine incentive program designed to encourage Californians to get vaccinated before the June 15 reopening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incentives are intended to give an extra \"boost\" to those who still need to be vaccinated against COVID-19, especially those living in hard-to-reach communities, while thanking all those who have already been vaccinated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Getting all eligible Californians vaccinated is taking back our state from this pandemic,\" Newsom said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The governor detailed that California has already made incredible progress in the fight against COVID-19, with the lowest case rates in the country, while administering millions more vaccines than any other state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"But we're not stopping there - we're doing everything we need to do to vaccinate Californians as we approach June 15 with the idea of fully reopening safely,\" he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 62.8 percent of Californians 12 and older are at least partially vaccinated, but an estimated 12 million eligible people have not yet received the vaccine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The state will work closely with our partners in local health departments and community-based organizations to ensure that the program reaches families living in communities with the lowest vaccination rates, who may face language barriers and other obstacles,\" she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How will the millionaire sweepstakes work in California?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thus, all Californians over the age of 12 who are at least partially vaccinated will be automatically eligible for cash prize drawings to be held in June. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

30 total winners will be selected for $50,000 cash prize drawings on June 4 and June 11, totaling $1.5 million. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On June 15, $1.5 million will be awarded to 10 lucky Californians for a total of $15 million in cash prizes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that winners must complete their vaccination to claim their prize. If someone under the age of 18 wins, the cash will be deposited into a savings account until they turn 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning May 27, the next two million people who begin and complete their COVID-19 vaccination will automatically be eligible to receive a $50 prepaid or grocery card, for a total of $100 million in support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They will also be given the option to select between a $50 virtual prepaid card - which can be spent online, at stores that accept all major debit cards, or added to a mobile wallet to use to shop at stores that accept mobile wallets - or a $50 grocery gift card from Kroger - which includes Ralphs, Food 4 Less and Foods Co. - or Albertsons - which includes Safeway, Albertsons, Vons, Pavilions and Andronico's Community Markets - while supplies last. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Californians will receive a text message with an electronic prepaid card redemption code sent to their mobile phone or email address 7 to 10 days after their two-dose series of Pfizer or Moderna, or single dose of Johnson and Johnson. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
