West Virginia is planning to give away custom hunting rifles and shotguns as part of a lottery to convince reluctant residents to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Lottery prizes for getting vaccinated in West Virginia will include custom hunting rifles and shotguns'There are going to be so many wonderful prizes that you can win, it will blow you away,' Justice, a Republican, said last week, announcing the lottery. But over time, West Virginia has fallen behind a number of other states in vaccination rates. That's still slightly above the national average, but Governor Justice hopes that the state funded vaccine lottery will spur holdouts to take the shot. 'If you won't do it for me, if you won't do it for your family, you've got to get vaccinated for Babydog,' Justice said.
