Washington's Last Vaccine Lottery Is Tuesday: Here's What To Know
OLYMPIA, WA — Washington's last of five "Shot of a Lifetime" vaccine lottery drawings is planned for Tuesday, with more cash and prizes up for grabs than ever.
Lottery officials said nearly 100 smaller prizes went unclaimed in the fourth drawing last month, including concert tickets for Climate Pledge Arena, Xboxes and more. Those prizes will be in the rotation again for the final drawing, boosting the final prize cache above 350. Other unclaimed items include Seahawks and Mariners tickets, Nintendo Switch consoles, Google prize packages and camping gift cards.
One lucky winner will be awarded $1 million, equaling the four previous cash prizes combined.
Washington's first drawing for vaccinated adults took place on June 8, as the state made a final push to reopen before June 30. While the Evergreen State fell just short of reaching its vaccination target early, Gov. Jay Inslee said last week that researchers found the lottery promotion successfully increased immunization rates.
