Kentucky Governor Launches 'Shot At A Million' Vaccine Incentive

There will be three $1 million drawings and 15 full scholarship winners.

(Frankfort, Ky.) - Andy Beshear is inviting Kentuckians to get a COVID-19 shot and enter for a Shot at a Million. 

The governor announced the new vaccination incentive on Friday, saying the state will have two types of drawings for residents that have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Kentuckians 18 years old and older who have received at least their first dose of a Moderna or Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, or the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine, may enter to win one of three $1 million drawings.

Kentuckians 12 to 17 years old who have received at least their first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine may enter to win one of 15 full scholarships to a Kentucky public college, university, technical or trade school, which includes tuition, room-and-board and books.

“This is a lifesaving and now possibly life-changing opportunity,” said Gov. Beshear. “You can get your shot of hope and then enter for a shot at $1 million or a shot at one of 15 full scholarships – both protecting you from this deadly virus and possibly transforming your future.”

Entry for the drawings begins June 4 at shotatamillion.ky.gov.
