Colorado on Tuesday became the latest state to roll out a lottery program to encourage residents to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

Five randomly selected Coloradans above the age of 18 who have received at least one dose of the vaccine by the end of June will be selected to win $1 million each, Gov. Jared Polis announced.
