Subject: [EXTERNAL MAIL!] Summer Cash Drawing Announcement
Today, Governor Cooper shared an exciting announcement to motivate those who have not yet been vaccinated — and thank those who have! As part of North Carolina’s effort to bring summer back with safe, effective and free COVID-19 vaccines, North Carolina is launching the Your Shot At a Million Summer Cash Drawings. Four vaccinated North Carolinians 18 and older will win $1 million each and four North Carolinians ages 12 to 17 will win $125,000 for post-secondary education.
As a trusted messenger, we hope you will help get the word out.

The drawings are part of the state’s Bringing Summer Back get-out-the-vaccine campaign to increase awareness of the availability and safety of COVID-19 vaccines and encourage North Carolinians to get a COVID-19 vaccination as soon as they can. The vaccines have been thoroughly tested and found to be safe and effective for anyone 12 and older.
North Carolinians 18 and over who have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine will be automatically entered into four drawings for a chance to win a $1 million cash prize. Youth between the ages of 12 and 17 who have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine will be automatically entered into four drawings to win $125,000 towards post-secondary education. The $125,000 can be used at any post-secondary institution and are awarded by funding a savings account in the NC 529 Plan.
The $4 Million Summer Cash and Cash 4 College Drawings will run from June 21 through Aug. 4. All North Carolina residents 12 and older who have been vaccinated with at least one dose are eligible, some restrictions may apply.
Those vaccinated starting today, June 10, will be entered twice for each drawing increasing the chance of winning for the newly vaccinated.
Drawings will take place every other week on Wednesdays with the first drawing on June 23. New entries will close at midnight on the Sunday prior to the Wednesday drawing at midnight. Winners will be verified and then announced.
Let’s continue to get more people vaccinated through North Carolina—and share this information widely with your networks.
