The Ohio Vax-A-Million was a weekly lottery held every Wednesday from May 26 through June 23, 2021, by the Ohio Lottery and the Ohio Department of Health to award Ohioans who have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Weekly prizes include $1 million ($1 million today), and for those who are minors a full-ride scholarship to any four-year public university in Ohio. The contest, which was designed to encourage those who may be more hesitant to get the vaccine, received national headlines and drew some debate over the legality of such a lottery.
