West Virginia is planning to give away custom hunting rifles and shotguns as part of a lottery to convince reluctant residents to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Governor Jim Justice announced the full list of prizes for the state's first vaccine lottery on Tuesday, with a top prize of $1 million and a slew of other incentives for vaccinated residents. The first drawing will be held on Father's Day, June 20, and more drawings held weekly through August 4. To be eligible, residents must have received at least one dose of any approved COVID vaccine before the date of the drawing. 'We are going to make a few West Virginians millionaires before this is over. Some people will win trucks and scholarships and on and on, but we've got to get you vaccinated first. There are going to be so many wonderful prizes that you can win, it will blow you away,' Justice, a Republican said last week announcing the lottery.

‘We are going to make a few West Virginians millionaires before this is over. Some people will win trucks and scholarships and on and on, but we’ve got to get you vaccinated first,’ he said.
The list of prizes for the first drawing includes:
One prize of $1 million
Two full four-year scholarships to any West Virginia institution (must be aged 12-25)
Two custom F-150 trucks
25 weekend getaways to West Virginia state parks
Five lifetime hunting and fishing licenses
Five custom hunting rifles
Five custom shotguns
Damn, now ain’t that a conundrum...
Last week, Justice brought his English Bulldog, Babydog, to his briefing and said that Babydog will serve as the mascot of the vaccination incentive lottery program.
‘If you won’t do it for me, if you won’t do it for your family, you’ve got to get vaccinated for Babydog,’ Justice said. ‘She wants you vaccinated so badly.’
Ya, but if I just buy what I really like, I’d also live long enough to enjoy using it.
NOW you’re talkin’!
John Kerrey surprised everyone by showing up at a WV vaccine booth, asking, “Where kin ah git me a huttin’ rifle?” He fit right in with those good ol’ boys. They dropped him off in the middle of the woods.
Jeopardize your life for a lottery chance? No way in hell
Still willing to “pay the price” and step aside so some underserved entity can have ours. Or, we don’t need or want the shot. How about that.
I can’t really remember the winners list from the polio vaccine - can someone enlighten me who got the million? :)
Still not getting one.
WOW. Don’t shoot yourself with a gun. Just let them shoot you dead with a gun that doesn’t make any noise...

Me either!
Do it for Babydog. LOL.
Yes, just go buy one and be happy.
Yes and No.
Yes to prize choice, No to jab.
1st prize would be surviving the Vaccine
You nailed it :)
