Bucks donate two player signed balls to city of Racine vaccine prize drawing

From CBS 58:

RACINE, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Get vaccinated and you could win a Milwaukee Bucks' signed basketball. 

The Bucks announced they teamed up with the city of Racine with the donation to encourage support vaccination efforts. 

“The Bucks are proud to support the City and County’s efforts to vaccinate their residents. As we head into the NBA finals and look forward to our fans filling Fiserv Forum, and thousands more joining us outside in Deer District to watch the game, we recognize that the COVID-19 vaccine is key to hosting these great events in person, in Milwaukee. We encourage Racine County residents to get vaccinated, to get entered to win a signed ball, and join us in Deer District to support the Bucks in the NBA Finals,” said Milwaukee Bucks President Peter Feigin.

As a reminder, Racine County residents can enter the drawing by getting vaccinated through July 17. The city and county have the goal of getting 3,000 more County residents vaccinated in the 30 days between the drawing’s announcement on June 17 and its conclusion on July 17.

There are more prizes to win! The city and county have each donated $5,000 ($10,000 total) and will give out 66 prizes through a random drawing that will occur on July 20. The drawing is open to anyone who is eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine – those under 18 need parental consent. To enter the prize drawing, vaccine eligible residents must get vaccinated at one of the following locations:

• AMI’s Regency Mall Vaccination Clinic;
• City of Racine’s Vaccination Clinic at City Hall;
• Other City of Racine-sponsored ‘pop up vaccination clinics’ that may become available.

“I thank Peter and the Milwaukee Bucks for partnering with us to help encourage our community to get vaccinated. The Bucks are the Eastern Conference Champions, headed into the NBA Finals, and having the donated signed basketballs is really great. Everyone eligible to get vaccinated can sign up to win one of these great prizes, including now one of these signed basketballs, so please, get vaccinated before July 17th to get entered to win,” said City of Racine Mayor Cory Mason.

The 66 prizes include the following, valued at a total of $10,000; the full list of prizes is available at VaccinateRacine.org:

Maryland establishes COVID-19 vaccine lottery, offering $2M in prize money

Gov. Larry Hogan announced a partnership between the Maryland Lottery and the department of health for daily drawings of $40,000 for Maryland residents who have been vaccinated.

 Those who receive a COVID-19 vaccine in Maryland have a chance to win some serious cash thanks to a new incentive program from the Maryland Department of Health and the Maryland Lottery, Gov. Larry Hogan announced Thursday.

Drawings will begin May 25 and continue for 40 days, through July 4. Those who win will receive $40,000, except the July 4 drawing, which will be offering a grand prize of $400,000.

“Entry is very simple — all you have to do is get vaccinated here in Maryland, be a Maryland resident and be 18 or older,” Hogan said.

Those who have already been vaccinated in the state have been entered into the lottery already.

Maryland Lottery and Gaming Director Gordon Medenica said the lottery will be handled anonymously, so no one needs to worry about their medical information being used inappropriately.

The Maryland Department of Health is attaching a string of numbers in a spreadsheet with each vaccine-recipient’s name and information. The Maryland Lottery will then generate random numbers, and the department of health will check its database against the winning number.

Hogan said getting vaccinated in the state is easier than ever, with over 3,000 sites available to receive a vaccine.

“Remember Marylanders: Get your shot for a shot to win,” Hogan said. “That’s a good line.”
