4th Vax-a-Million Winner Announced

OHIO — Suzanne Ward, from Findlay, is the fourth Ohioan to win $1 million through the Vax-a-Million lottery.

Sean Horning, from Cincinnati, won a four-year full-ride scholarship to an Ohio university or college.

The lottery rewards randomly selected Ohioans for being vaccinated against COVID-19. The lottery will end after a fifth winner is selected next week.

For this week's drawing, there were 3,428,514 adults competing for the $1 million prize. Among Ohioans 12 to 17, there were 150,187 hoping to win a college scholarship through the program. That's an increase of 66,311 adult entries and 6,583 scholarship entries from the previous week.

Approximately 47 percent of Ohioans are currently vaccinated against COVID-19, according to the Ohio Department of Health.

More than 5.4 million Ohioans are currently vaccinated, so nearly 2 million people have not registered for a chance to win $1 million. If you haven't yet registered, but want to, you can opt-into the lottery online.
