In a series of tweets, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced a new incentive to get more Ohioans vaccinated: a lottery with a huge grand prize of $1 million dollars.
Two weeks from tonight on May 26th, we will announce a winner of a separate drawing for adults who have received at least their first dose of the vaccine. This announcement will occur each Wednesday for five weeks, and the winner each Wednesday will receive one million dollars.
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.
The Ohio Department of Health will be the sponsoring agency for the drawings, and the Ohio Lottery will conduct them. The money will come from existing federal Coronavirus Relief Funds.
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.

My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
Proverbs 1:10
[13] Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: [14] But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. [15] Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. [16] Do not err, my beloved brethren.James 1:13-16
Step aside Krispy Kreme, I think DeWine just outdid you! If it isn’t abundantly clear that so many people do not want the vaccine, then you just are not paying attention on purpose. I mean, the money that is being wasted: money that could be put to something useful, but no, the Ohio taxpayer gets to pay for a lottery for a vaccine that many do not want.
Vaccine Hesitancy Grows. Health Officials Panic In Frenzy For More To Get Vaccinated
Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.
Proverbs 13:11
That is what the vaccine is: a gamble, gambling your life and health, and in return, Ohioans have slim opportunity to win a million bucks – which will be diminished immediately by state taxes leaving a significant amount less in the winner’s pockets, to be spent on more toys and not anything wise.
The clowns are running the carnival!

Funny, just the other day I was thinking to myself: “I wouldn’t take that shot even if they gave me a million”
“Two weeks from tonight on May 26th, we will announce a winner of a separate drawing for adults who have received at least their first dose of the vaccine. This announcement will occur each Wednesday for five weeks, and the winner each Wednesday will receive one million dollars.”
It’s kinda hard to receive a million dollars if you’re dead. And if you do survive it, you may well be putting all that money towards health/medical expenses sooner or later.
I’m still waiting on the new VAERS update (I wouldn’t be surprised if the deaths will surpass 4,000), but as of 4/30/21, there have been 3,837 reported deaths from these Covid vaccines. Now to put things into perspective, the total number of DEATHS reported for ALL VACCINES for all time (including covid) is 12,546. So approximately 30.6% of the DEATHS in VAERS are from the COVID VACCINES alone!!!
