So Mike DeWine is going to give away $1 million in a lottery for an adult who has gotten vaxxed...

One drawing a week for five weeks. For 12-17 year olds full ride scholarships to any Ohio state university.

Also, COVID restrictions will be removed as of June 2nd.

ETA: for Ohio residents only.

1. Pretty cool.

Not a fan of his but his shutdown of sports activities shut down the First Four in Dayton which ripple effect ended up canceling the whole basketball tournament last year. THAT was the day when people realized how bad this was going to get.

2. Credit where credit it due. That's a great idea.

And $5 million to get hopefully thousands of people vaccinated is a bargain.

3. If it takes bribes for people to get vaccinated, so be it

Hospital care for COVID-19 - related healthcare isn’t cheap, so the cost of this lottery may be a good investment.

4. That's a great idea!

Maybe Gov Wolf will take notice...

5. Damn!

I’m no fan of DeWine, but that is a freaking brilliant idea.

6. a republican governor who "wants" people vaccinated?

that's weird.

[madinmaryland]

10. Scary thought, isn't it! He allowed Dr. Amy Acton to run the effort using SCIENCE.

One of the few things DeWine has gotten right.

[stillcool]

11. yeah...he did something else not long ago...

funny how it stands out when a Republican manages to do the right thing. So very rare.

[Drunken Irishman]

7. I love it. I wish Utah could do something like that.

[soothsayer]

8. Nice!

9. I hope my governor does the same

our vaccination rate is too low here and I think we have hit a wall in terms of vaccines due to resistance. Cooper has done great here and I can see him adding this as well.

[Lettuce Be]

12. Excellent idea -- wish my state would decide to do same

Whatever it takes. This is smart as so many can't resist buying those tickets for a nearly non-existent chance to win.

13. Whatever it takes!
