FRANKFORT, Ky. — Kentucky has launched a vaccine incentive that gives citizens who have received their COVID-19 vaccine a chance to win $1 million, or in the case of younger Kentuckians, the opportunity to win a full college scholarship.
Adults who have received at least the first dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine or the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine are eligible to enter the contest at shotatamillion.ky.gov. Those age 12-17 who have received at least the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine will have the opportunity to win one of 15 full scholarships to a Kentucky public college, university, technical or trade school, including tuition, room and board, and books. Entry for the scholarships can also be found at shotatamillion.ky.gov.
