- Ohio is offering state residents who are vaccinated against COVID-19 a chance to win big.
- Many experts think these tactics may help, but there’s also a potential downside to cash incentives.
- Some people may see cash incentives as a reason to distrust the safety of vaccines.
While some businesses are offering free beer or donuts to people who have gotten their COVID-19 vaccine, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine is banking on an even bigger prize to encourage more people to roll up their sleeve.
A chance to win $1 million.
The state will hold five weekly drawings starting May 26, giving away millions to vaccinated state residents who opt into the lottery. Those under 18 who opt in will be entered to win full scholarships to any of Ohio’s state colleges and universities.
But will this or other incentives work?
