LOS ANGELES—Three Los Angeles County residents and one Orange County resident were among the first 15 winners chosen on June 4 to receive $50,000 each in the state’s COVID-19 vaccination incentive program.

The winners were picked from among 21.5 million eligible California residents who have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine prior to the drawing. To actually receive the money, the winners will have to complete the vaccination protocol by receiving their second dose, unless they received the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
