LAS VEGAS—$5 million total, including one grand prize of $1 million, is up for grabs for eligible Nevadans who have been vaccinated, according to a new promotion hosted by the state.

During an announcement on Thursday providing new details of the "Vax Nevada Days" promotion, Gov. Steve Sisolak said winners will be announced weekly every Thursday for eight weeks beginning July 8.

People who were previously vaccinated as soon as they were eligible are also included.

Winners will be notified after each drawing.

MILLIONS UP FOR GRABS

Eligible residents 18 and older who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 will be in the running for cash prizes. 100 Nevadans will win $1,000, 32 will win $25,000, 11 will win $50,000, two will win $100,000, and three Nevadans will win $250,000.

On August 26, one winner will win the grand prize of $1 million.

Additionally, all eligible residents between the ages of 12-17 who have been vaccinated will have a chance to win 135 tuition prizes ranging from $5,000 to $50,000 in the form of 529 college savings accounts administered by the state treasurer.

NOT A LOTTERY, A RAFFLE

Nevada is one of a handful of states in the U.S. that does not have a lottery due to regulations and restrictions.

Gov. Sisolak was quick to clarify that this promotion is not a lottery but a raffle and he says a raffle is legal in the state.

WHO IS PAYING FOR THIS?

Not taxpayers, according to the governor.

Gov. Sisolak says the total cost is $5 million in prizes and there's $100,000 in funding for Immunize Nevada to administer the program.

"We are taking all $5 million, if I am not mistaken, from federal money," he said. "So the federal government is putting up all the money."

Because nobody has ever paid taxes to the federal government?

Tell others about #VaxNevadaDays, & encourage them to get vaccinated so they can be eligible to win BIG CASH PRIZES, including the $1 million grand prize!— Governor Sisolak (@GovSisolak) June 17, 2021

This seems to be a global thing, we should really follow the money on this. They’re trying this in Alberta too.

Crazy, and a waste of resources. Working people need childcare and paid time off.

Anyway, I’m all set to finally get the shot but now I’m waiting for my Governor to offer rewards...

The governor is weapons grade stupid.

I will happily accept a free Vax.


Heck, I'd settle for a PDP-8/M, or even a DEC Mate II, but not the DEC Rainbow, they're queer.

They want us to get the vax far too badly for me to even think of trusting it.

I am ready to get the jab—if they pay me $1M for the first shot, $1M for the second shot, and $1M for any boosters the rest of my life.

If they won’t ante up, fuggedaboutit!

You don’t have to pay Federal income taxes if you live in Nevada?

What a complete idiot.

The federal dollars come from taxpayers. What an absolute moron in the states’ top spot.

I “Vaccinations only prove that you can inject someone
with highly acidic toxic poisonous chemicals and that person
hopefully surviving the debilitating side effects, such as multiple
sclerosis, lesions on the brain, paralysis, breakdown of the red
and white blood cells, ulcerations of the liver, lung, kidney, pancreas,
stomach and bowels, seizures and death. Vaccinations provide
zero immunity. True immunity that leads to health and fitness
can only be achieved by making healthy lifestyle and dietary choices.”

The vaccine industry is pure fraud

Another reason to get rid of Sisolak and Democrats in the state. Wasting federal tax dollars, plus diverting state resources to do it.
