On July 21, 2021, the state of Missouri announced the launch of a statewide COVID-19 vaccination incentive program, MO VIP, to encourage vaccination among all Missourians age 12 and up. Over the next three months, 900 Missourians who have or will choose to be vaccinated will win cash or education savings account prizes in the amount of $10,000.

 

​

How it works

 

The MO VIP incentivizes vaccination for those who have not yet been vaccinated as well as provides an opportunity for rewards for Missourians who have already made the decision to be protected through vaccination.

​

Missourians who have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine are now able to enter to win one of the 900 prizes. The first drawing will be on August 13; drawings will occur every two weeks with the final drawing scheduled for October 8. Once Missouri residents receive a dose, they become eligible to enter the sweepstakes at MOStopsCovid.com/win. Once entered, their entry will be carried over through all the drawings. There is no need to enter more than once. The entry list will be reviewed, and duplicate entries will be removed prior to each drawing. 

 

Who is eligible?

 

A winner must meet all of the following eligibility requirements:

• Must be a living citizen of the United States and a permanent resident of the State of Missouri.

• Must be age 12 or older.

• Must have received at least the first COVID-19 vaccination if receiving the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine or one dose if receiving the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, prior to the drawing date (records will be verified).

 

Entries will be divided into three categories:

• Red:    Missourians age 18 and up receiving at least one dose of vaccine after July 21.  

• White: Missourians age 18 and up receiving at least one dose of vaccine before July 21.  

• Blue:   Missourians ages 12 to 17 receiving at least one dose of vaccine at any time.
