West Virginia plans to give away guns, trucks, cash and other prizes as part of its COVID-19 vaccine incentive program.

From June 20 to Aug. 4, the state will award a variety of items as part of the lottery, Gov. Jim Justice (R) announced Tuesday in a news conference. Those who enter will have opportunities to win custom-outfitted trucks, weekend vacations at state parks, lifetime hunting and fishing licenses, and custom hunting rifles and shotguns. There will also be monetary incentives, such as full scholarships to any higher education institution in West Virginia, a grand prize of $1.58 million and a second-place award of $588,000.
