Hey, guys, it's Ginny Silver.
And today I have an update for those of you in the state
of California about a new vaccine incentive program announced
today by Governor Gavin Newsom.
Vac for the Win at 116.5 million dollars now gives California
the largest vaccine incentive program in the United States,
with California's reopening date set on June 15 th.
This program is to incentivize individuals to get their vaccine.
Before June 15th program States that for who have already
received a vaccine are already entered for these cash prices
and those who have not yet received theirs should get Vaccinated
ASAP to receive a 50 dollars card and a chance to win cash
prizes. On June 15th, 10 winners will be selected to receive
1.5 million dollars each.
Californians with at least one dose of the COVID 19 vaccine
who are 12 years of age and older will be eligible to win.
If someone under 18 wins, their cash will be put into a savings
account for them until they turn 18.
Additionally, 30 winners will be selected to receive 50,000
dollars. 30 winners will be selected to win a 50,000 dollar
cash prize each, with 15 winners selected on Friday, June
four th and 15 winners selected on Friday, June 11 th.
So how will the winners be notified?
The Privacy of the winner is protected and the winners will
be notified by officials from the California Department of
Public Health, and only CDP knows the identity of the person
associated with a random number that has been drawn so well.
The names of the winners be made public at the time of the
drawing. No name will be announced.
Winners will be given the opportunity to decline accepting
the prize as well as decline publicity associated with the
prize. So does a person need to be a Us citizen in order
to win?
The eligibility is not determined by immigration status.
Those who are eligible to win must only meet the following
criteria, They must live in California, are age 12 and older
and have received at least the first dose of their COVID
19 vaccine.
Now, how will someone prove that they have had both doses?
The COVID 19 vaccine are tracked in California Immunization
registry. Incentive cards and other cash prizes will be awarded
based on those records.
Next, how will the prize money be dispersed?
All prize money will be subject to taxation and will be dispersed
by the state controllers office.
The prize money will also be subject to any back taxes, child
support payments, or liens that are owed by the winner.
Now, is personal health information being shared through
these vaccine incentive programs?
The answer is no.
California's personal health information will not be shared
throughout any of these incentive programs.
The lottery will be assisting the programs, but we will not
receive any personal identifiable information from eligible
Californians. Everything will be both random and anonymous,
while the names of the winners would not be disclosed without
the consent of the winner of the winter could be announced.
And finally, the next 2,000,000 people to get their vaccination
May 27th in On will receive a 50 dollars gift card in May
27 th.
The next 2,000,000 people who begin and then complete their
COVID 19 vaccination will automatically be eligible for a
50 Dollars Virtual Prepaid card.
Now, the prize money will be paid after the winner has completed
their vaccination series.
Incarcerated persons and persons living outside of California
are not.
Now, if you haven't caught vaccine yet and you're getting
vaccinated on or after May 27 th, you are going to receive
a redemption code by text or email within seven to 10 days
after your last vaccination.
For those receiving a two dose series, your 50 dollars card
will be set aside until you complete the second dose.
If you don't have a mobile phone or email address, then seven
to 10 days after your vaccination you can call the phone
number listed here, 833-993-3873 to receive a physical card.
After that, you are going to choose the type of card that
you prefer and they will send you instructions.

receive the card of choice once the code is redeemed.
If someone got the first dose before the incentive card program
started and then get their second dose after it started,
are they eligible?
The answer is no.
They are not eligible to receive an incentive card.
However, they are eligible for the other cash prizes or Californians
who already completed their full vaccination prior to the
program eligible for an incentive card.
The answer here is also No.
