Research found some of these prizes had little to no effect on convincing residents to get vaccinated against COVID.
At least 19 states offered up to $5 million dollars in money for people to get vaccinated.COVID-19 immunization ratesOver the spring and summer, at least 19 states -- including California, New York, Ohio and West Virginia -- tried to incentivize unvaccinated individuals to get shots, offering cash prizes, free tickets, guns, college scholarships and trucks.
The trend was similar among U.S. states without lotteries, which experienced a decline in rates nearly mirroring those seen in the lottery states. One limitation of the study is the small number of states analyzed. Because researchers only looked at 15 states with lotteries, small increases in vaccination rates may not have been detected.
“Given the lack of a strong association between state lottery-based vaccine incentives and increased vaccination rates, further studies of strategies to increase vaccination rates are needed.”
