Finally, another country, namely Romania, launched a Vaccination Lottery for the public. It is hoped that this will encourage people to participate in the Romanian government's vaccination program. The amount provided by the Romanian government is RON15,000,000 ($3.5m).
Why would it encourage people? To me it is quite lame. Even mathematically it is quite stupid. Why don't they just 35000 people $100 instead? This way they could have helped more people. Now there will be only one lucky guy and that's if they don't cheat.
If more than 35k people participate in this scam, it is even worse like shooting yourself in the foot for <$100.
