West Virginia held its first lottery-style drawing for those who received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, which is designed to boost the state’s vaccination numbers.

Over the weekend, Gov. Jim Justice announced the winners. Karen Foley, of Mineral Wells, received the state’s $1 million prize. Other prizes included pickup trucks, college scholarships, lifetime hunting licenses, lifetime fishing licenses, custom hunting rifles and shotguns and weekend getaways.
