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).
This is good news for people and this lottery also aims to encourage vaccination and each participant will have four chances of winning. In addition, the government also agreed to make regulations for people who are eligible to be vaccinated to receive a meal voucher worth RON100.
It seems that the Vaccination Lottery program can attract people to register so that the government's target in reducing the number of people infected with Covid-19 can succeed. Maybe after this, there will be other countries that will follow. What do you think about the launch of this Vaccination Lottery? Can it attract the other countries to follow what USA and Romania did? Is that be a good way to attract attention from people to have vaccination because that teach them to use lottery to make money which we know that lottery is part of gambling.

There will be people who will take it straight away, people who would never take it and people who are on the fence that might go for it given little extra incentives - that is the group that such rewards will be good at targeting. However it makes more sense to offer fewer prizes (e.g. 7 x 500,000) which are drawn every month or two, then heavily advertised as a winning payout. It would still be a life changing amount and spreading the news over time will have a much better effect.
