Research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) indicates that COVID-19 vaccine lotteries in states like Ohio and North Carolina had a "near zero" effect on increasing vaccination rates. Despite the million-dollar prizes and scholarships offered, vaccination trends remained stable. The hosts mock the media's reaction to the findings and the government's insistence on trying new "quippy" tactics to drive compliance.

### COVID-19 Vaccine Lotteries, State Incentives and Data Discrepancies

U.S. states including Ohio, Maryland, and Colorado have launched multi-million dollar lotteries to incentivize COVID-19 vaccinations using federal grant money. While Ohio Governor Mike DeWine claimed the "Vax-a-Million" program was a success, data analysis suggests the spike in vaccinations was primarily driven by the expansion of eligibility to children rather than the lottery itself. Other incentives include $100 savings bonds in West Virginia and reduced community service hours for defendants in Georgia.
