3. Gov. John Bel Edwards already implemented the 'Shot At A Million' vaccine incentive program.

I think this new program is just to entice college students to get vaccinated before returning to campus.

The 'Shot At A Million' program is handing out a total of $2.3 million in cash and scholarships for anyone who registered in the drawing with at least one shot.

Four adults (aged 18 or older) won $100,000, and nine children (between the ages of 12-18) won $100,000 in scholarships.

One grand prize winner will get the $1 million prize, which should be announced today (8-13-21.)
