New York’s disgraced Governor Andrew Cuomo is attempting to bribe New Yorkers to get the COVID-19 vaccine with lottery tickets.
The tickets provide a chance to win five million dollars.
“Today we announce a big new reason to get vaccinated: A chance to win up to $5 million! Get vaccinated at any of 10 state vax sites and receive a free NYS Lottery scratch off ticket with a grand prize of $5 million. Must be 18 or older,” Cuomo tweeted on Friday.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has also announced a “Vax-a-Million” program in which a random person will be drawn weekly from the Ohio secretary of state’s voter registration date base to get $1 million — if they are vaccinated. They will also be choosing 12-17 year old winners who will receive a possible full-ride scholarship to a state college or university if they are vaccinated.
Taxpayers are once again footing the bill for political bribes.
