New Yorkers who get vaccinated can now win $5 million, Cuomo announces

Get the COVID-19 vaccine and you could be as rich as Gov. Andrew Cuomo!

New Yorkers 18 or older who get the shot at state-run sites next week will have a chance to win $5 million through a “Vax and Scratch” lottery program, Cuomo announced Thursday. That’s the same amount he received for his controversial pandemic memoir.
