2nd winner of Colorado’s $1 million Covid vaccine drawing announced

COLORADO (KRDO) -- Another Coloradan was announced as a lucky winner of $1 million Friday in the state's effort to get more people vaccinated from COVID-19.

Gov. Jared Polis announced this week's winner is Stephanie Ward.

Last week, Gov. Polis announced the first winner, a health data worker from Mead, and encouraged people to get vaccinated in order to be eligible for the drawings.

Five people will win $1 million each as part of the Comeback Cash drawings, and 25 students aged 12-17 who have been vaccinated will win $50,000 scholarships.

Gov. Polis says if you've been vaccinated, you're automatically eligible for the drawings. However, not every vaccine provider has given data to the state for the drawing. You can check your eligibility at this link.
