State to announce winners of Oregon's $1 million vaccine jackpot and cash prizes

PORTLAND, Ore. — The winners of Oregon's $1 million jackpot and vaccine cash prizes will be announced on July 9.

The prizes are part of the state's "Take Your Shot, Oregon" campaign to encourage people to get vaccinated against COVID-19. 

One Oregonian will win the $1 million prize and 36 people will win $10,000 prizes. Five people between 12-17 years old have a chance to win a $100,000 Oregon College Savings Plan scholarship.

Several counties added their own vaccine incentives, totaling 134 prizes.

The winners of the drawings will be notified by phone this week, while Gov. Kate Brown will announce them sometime next week.

OHA released a list of tips to help people know the call is legitimate:

• The call will come from the OHA
• The call will come from a 503 or 971 area code
• The caller will ask about your vaccination status
• The caller will not ask about financial information. A caller who asks for any financial information is fraudulent and a scam. Hang up immediately.

Nearly everyone who received at least one dose in Oregon was automatically entered into the lottery. More than 18,000 people who received a vaccine from a federal administration site, such as Portland Veteran Affairs, entered the lottery by submitting information to the campaign's website.
