New York, May 20 (AP) People who get vaccinated at select state-run vaccination sites in New York next week will receive a lottery scratch ticket as the state tries to boost slowing vaccination rates. Gov. Andrew Cuomo says the pilot programme at 10 state-run sites will offer prizes from USD 20 up to USD 5 million and run from Monday to May 28.
The governor says there’s a one in nine chance of winning a scratch ticket prize in New York, which is joining states like Ohio that have similar lottery incentives. About 43 per cent of New York state residents are fully vaccinated. (AP) .
