LANSING, Mich. — Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced a new program to incentivize Michiganders to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, according to the Michigan governor’s office.

We’re told the “MI Shot to Win Sweepstakes,” which will be held as “a lottery-style raffle,” will offer a total payout of $5 million, as well as nine scholarships valued at $55,000 apiece.

The announcement was made during a press conference Thursday morning.

Watch it here:

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced a similar program for Ohio residents back in May.
