Oregon to offer $1 million lottery drawing for COVID vaccine recipients

Posted on May 21, 2021 by Gary Haliski

The rules are simple. Oregon will hold a drawing on June 28 and will pull winners randomly from a state database of vaccinated people. One person will win a $1 million grand prize, and one person in each of Oregon’s 36 counties will win $10,000.

The state will also offer five $100,000 scholarships through the Oregon College Savings Plan, which will be available to vaccinated students between the ages of 12 and 17. See more details here.

As a reminder, Lane County is very close to reaching a 65% level of residents having at least one shot. If a county reaches 65%, the county attains ‘Low Risk’ level, which loosens restrictions substantially.

Lane County is holding several clinics in the next two weeks including 2 at North Eugene High School. Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are encouraged. Check the Lane County site for times, locations and appointment opportunities. There is a clinic at North Eugene High School (200 Silver Lane) today and next Friday from 4 to 6 pm.
