Would a chance at winning $1 million make you more likely to get a COVID-19 vaccine?Continuing Coverage: Coronavirus in WisconsinThat's the question the governors of at least three states are asking their residents.But Wisconsin doesn't yet seem to be one of them.Ohio was first to offer five $1 million prizes to residents who receive the vaccine.New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced his state would roll out a similar program."We announced a plan where you could win up to $5 million," he said Thursday.Maryland's governor also announced $2 million in total prize money would be awarded by July 4.In Ohio, the chance at winning the lottery has had a huge weekly increase in the number of residents who have received the vaccine.WISN 12's Kent Wainscott asked Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers Thursday by the Badger State isn't offering similar winnings."Ohio saw a 53% increase in first doses: 113,000 new vaccinated individuals in one week after announcing their lottery," Wainscott said. "Are you considering a lottery or cash incentive?""My concern about using the federal money for a lottery is this: We have businesses all across this state that have suffered dramatically during this pandemic. We owe them the opportunity to recover," Evers replied.Instead of a lottery incentive, Evers said the state just needs to be better at taking the vaccine to the people."We just need to continue to work at it," he said. "We'll get there. We'll get to the point we need to be."The chance at a lottery winning could be the added motivation some Wisconsin residents need to get the vaccine.The three states' winnings are provided by federal COVID-19 relief funds. Wisconsin is receiving $2.5 billion from the U.S. Department of the Treasury as part of the American Rescue Plan passed by Congress and signed by President Joe Biden.Sign up for coronavirus email alerts from WISNGet breaking news alerts with the WISN 12 app.Follow us: Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube
