SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- It's the first week of drawings for California's vaccine incentive program.
On Friday morning, Governor Gavin Newsom will pick names of residents who have received the COVID-9 vaccine.
The 15 lucky winners get $50,000. They'll be identified by an anonymous number, but then the state will reach out privately to those who won and get permission to share their identities.
California is throwing in a whopping $116.5 million into the Vax for the Win program, it's the most money set aside for a vaccine incentive program in the whole country.
On June 15, which is the same day the state is taking away its tiered system for reopening, there will be a drawing for 10 winners to get $1.5 million.
Anyone who has already been vaccinated is automatically entered into the drawings.
But anyone who is just getting vaccinated now, will get a $50 prepaid card.
Watch the drawing on KRONon at 10 a.m.
