MAYFIELD, Ohio — On Wednesday, the Ohio Department of Health and the Ohio Lottery Commission announced the second round of winners in Ohio's 'Vax-a-Million' lottery for anyone who has received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
Along with Johnathan Carlyle, the winner of the $1 million prize, Zoie Vincent of Mayfield Village was announced as having been pulled as the winner of the 'Vax-a-Million' scholarship -- a prize that includes four years of tuition, books, room and board fully paid at any Ohio public university or college.
Immediately following Zoie's win, Mayfield High School Principal Jeffrey Legan took to Twitter to congratulate the student on winning the grand prize.
"Congratulations to our very own, Zoie Vincent on winning a 4 year scholarship through the Ohio vax-a-million. So awesome!!! #WildcatPride," Legan wrote in a tweet.
Vincent was among more than 132,000 Ohioans aged 12 to 17 who entered the drawing to win the full-ride scholarship, according to the Ohio Department of Health.
Ohio has currently begun the vaccination process for more than 5 million residents, and more than 3.2 million Ohioans were entered into the 'Vax-a-Million' $1 million lottery for this week.
“I am pleased that leading into the holiday weekend, data continued to show that our Ohio Vax-a-Million promotion continued to increase COVID-19 vaccinations compared to the period before the promotion announcement,” said Ohio Governor Mike DeWine in a recent statement. “The vaccine remains our most powerful tool to fight the virus and for Ohioans to protect themselves and others. I encourage anyone considering getting the vaccine to not delay and take advantage of both vaccination opportunities and the Ohio Vax-a-Million promotion.”
The entry period for the next Ohio Vax-a-Million drawing ends June 6, 2021 at 11:59 p.m. and the drawing will take place on Wednesday, June 9, at 7:29 p.m.
