LOS ANGELES (AP) — California is giving away the country’s largest pot of vaccine prize money, $116.5 million, in an attempt to get millions more inoculated before the most populous U.S. state fully reopens next month. Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday announced the prizes, which also include the nation's highest single vaccine prize: $1.5 million.

California's reopening is pegged for June 15, and on that day a drawing will be held to award 10 vaccinated people the top prize .

Another 30 people will win $50,000 each, with those drawings starting June 4. Anyone 12 and older who has received at least one shot will be eligible.

And the next 2 million people who get vaccinated will get $50 gift cards.

Since the ‘vaccine’ makers were given immunity from prosecution for bad results from their products, if these states were decent and honorable, they would be using the funds not to bribe people to take the stuff, but to help out those sickened, crippled or killed by it.

Castro did rice cookers but not for vaccine. More for starvation prevention IIRC.

I thought all contests or giveaways had to have the disclaimer of ; You need not make a purchase to win a prize, just send a self addressed envelope to PO Box blah blah blah to enter this contest.

If the government has to bribe you to get a vaccine that is supposed to be safe, effective and free, then it is neither safe nor effective, let alone “free”.

This country is built around gimmicks with a carnival atmosphere.

Pathetic

I’ll take “recall” and bet my whole $50,000 winnings so far.

Later, oh, sorry you lose. Newsom was saved and re-elected by the Progressives of the great state of California.

But you are not going to go home empty handed. You still get to keep the Gulf of Guinea cruise ship trip with stopover in Cameroon and vacation for two in Nigeria.

Whoopee.

S&H Green Stamps....

You shoulda saved those for a set of plastic placemats with pictures of garden flowers. And you just missed when DVD rewinders came in.

Absolutely ridiculous....

Honest question, for those of you who trust this vaccine, do things like this lottery make you wonder “why the push”?

As if it’s “free money”, and the taxpayers aren’t on the hook.

Democrats.
