Your "health" is in good hands with Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R-?????)

With vaccine demand dropping, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan is launching a $2 million lottery that will hand out dozens of $40,000 cash prizes to vaccinated state residents — with one grand prize of $400,000.
Daily drawings for a $40,000 prize will be held from May 25 to July 3. On July 4, the grand prize of $400,000 will be randomly drawn for one winner.
All Maryland residents 18 and older who received their coronavirus vaccine in Maryland will be eligible.
The lottery is the latest effort by Maryland to get as many people inoculated against the coronavirus as possible, as the state tries to return to pre-pandemic normalcy. It is one of the largest cash incentives a state government has offered to its residents to promote the vaccine. Earlier this month, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) announced he would offer five $1 million prizes to vaccinated state residents, along with four-year college scholarships for five vaccinated Ohioans under the age of 18.
Under Hogan’s VaxCash promotion, each Maryland resident who has received a vaccine will be randomly assigned a number in a system that will be maintained by the Maryland Department of Health. The state lottery agency will select a number each day during the drawings.
Winners will be contacted and have to provide written consent to accept the prize. They can remain anonymous but will be encouraged to share their stories.
“All you have to do is to get your shot,” Hogan said.
His announcement, which was made with lottery officials outside the State House in Annapolis, comes as statewide coronavirus metrics, which indicate the community spread of the virus and the level of severity, have continued to decline.
As of late Wednesday, 67.3 percent of Maryland resident aged 18 and over had received at least one shot.

Let’s play Russian roulette
Did this kind of stuff get into the latest round of stimulus money, or do the various states just have extra cash because of budget surpluses?

Sounds like discrimination based on medical status. Everyone unvaxed in the DPRM should sue.
NY awards Cuomo 5 mil book deal!!
Will they waive laws to offer the prize to young kids?
All of this makes me think Deep State is lying big time about vaccine uptake figures.
Can you say COERCION?
Pretty bad when they have to resort to that sick tactic.

Pass.
Why do people have to get a prize to take a vaccine? 1. People are known to react badly to it including death 2. It is not a vaccine but merely a covid shot that lasts an unknown amount of time. 3. Covid has an extremely high survival rate.
Insanity! What next, a lottery for buying bread instead of candy?
What is this?
Lets see. Tax payer money can now be used to fund lottery’s in which certain people who play by the democrat narrative can get a prize.
Goes something like this:
Congratulations on your winnings!!! Sorry to hear you are suddenly terminal and may not get to spend it.
Needs more lipstick.
It would amuse me to no end to have the winner of the grand prize by a black transexual, with a criminal background, who won by forging a vax card. What would the Dems do - demand the money back from someone who hits three of their constituencies?
You, too, can play the Vax-A-Million Lotto!
The Vax-A-Million state lottery scheme, which will pay out $5 million, may be driving new vaccine demand up. State health officials said Monday that more than 25,400 vaccine shots were administered Friday, two days after the vaccine lottery was announced. It was the highest vaccination day in three weeks. Vaccinations for residents 30 to 74 grew by 6% after weeks of steady decline.
Why not “take a chance”???
Imagine a virus so deadly, that you must bribe people to take the treatment...
