LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Three Kentucky residents who have received the COVID-19 vaccine are going to become millionaires.
The drawing is part of a "Team KY Shot at a Million" incentive announced by Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear on Friday to convince unvaccinated Kentuckians to roll up their sleeves and get the shot.
"Starting right now, your shot of hope is starting to get a lot more interesting," Gov. Beshear told reporters.
Gov Beshear says three drawings will be held on July 1, July 29 and Aug. 26. The winners will be announced the following days, on July 2, July 30 and Aug. 27.
Anyone wishing to have their name added to the pool of potential winners must register online. To be eligible for the million-dollar drawings, participants must be aged 18 or older, and must have received their first COVID-19 vaccine.
"Everyone who registers now is eligible for all three drawings," Gov. Beshear said.
