SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — The first drawing for Illinois’ COVID-19 vaccine lottery will be held Thursday, July 8.
The initial prize in the “All In For The Win” promotion is $1 million. College scholarships worth $150,000 each will also be awarded to three lucky teens.
Winners will be picked from the pool of Illinoisans who’ve received at least one dose of the vaccine by July 1.
This week, Gov. J-B Pritzker made another plea for people to get the shot.
“Getting 70% of our adult population vaccinated is a big milestone, but it’s not enough. We have second vaccinations that people have to get, we have people that haven’t gone for a vaccination,” Pritzker said.
If you’re hesitant to get the shot, Pritzker urges you to find out more about its benefits.
“We’ve now made the vaccine available at everybody’s physician, their regular physician. So, please reach out to them if you have questions, and go get vaccinated,” Pritzker said.
Winners of “All In For The Win” will be notified by the Illinois Department of Public Health by phone, email or both, and will have one week to claim their prize.
