Jay Inslee on Thursday announced a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2021\/05\/20\/you-want-to-ditch-the-mask-get-vaxxed-says-pentagon\/\" target=\"_blank\">COVID-19 vaccine incentive<\/a> lottery for the state\u2019s military, family members and veterans because the federal government wasn\u2019t sharing individual vaccine status of those groups with the state and there were concerns they would be left out of a previously announced lottery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The announcement comes after last week\u2019s start of a lottery that has already had two drawings for $250,000 prizes, and also includes giveaways for college tuition assistance, airline tickets and game systems, among other prizes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A final drawing in that lottery will be for a $1 million prize on July 13. Washington is among several states that created lotteries in hopes of increasing the pace of vaccination. The governor\u2019s office believe the state is the first with a separate lottery for those who have been vaccinated at military locations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m really happy to say we have found a way to honor our active military duty and our veterans in this regard,\u201d Inslee said at a news conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/news\/your-military\/2021\/05\/20\/you-want-to-ditch-the-mask-get-vaxxed-says-pentagon\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/PentagonMask.jpg.jpg?w=225\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">You want to ditch the mask? Get vaxxed, says Pentagon<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The Pentagon is making another push to get more troops vaccinated.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new lottery applies to military, military staff and family members who were vaccinated through the Department of Defense, Veterans Affairs, or the National Guard. Mike Faulk, a spokesman for Inslee, said that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2021\/05\/03\/25th-service-member-dies-of-covid-19-as-white-house-considers-mandatory-vaccines\/\" target=\"_blank\">the Department of Defense<\/a> will be involved in circulating a form for military members to fill out. Veterans and National Guard members vaccinated through those facilities do not have to sign up because Department of Veterans Affairs and the National Guard have agreed to give the state random numbers that they have associated with vaccination records on their end, Faulk said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starting July 20, there will be one drawing a week for three weeks, with cash prizes of $100,000 for the first two weeks and a $250,000 prize for the final week. There will also be $250 Amazon gift cards and $100 state park gift cards up for grabs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, Inslee announced Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler was issuing an emergency order that allows medical providers to bill insurance companies for proactively reaching out to unvaccinated patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inslee has said the state will fully reopen its economy by June 30, or sooner if 70% of residents age 16 and older have received at least one dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of Thursday, nearly 68% in that age group have received at least one dose, according to the governor\u2019s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of the state\u2019s 39 counties are currently in the third phase of Inslee\u2019s four-stage reopening plan, with restaurants, bars and gyms able to operate at 50% indoor capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link

vaccinated.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Republican leaders in the state Senate and House have called on the governor to fully reopen the state now, citing action in the majority of other states, and well as differences in federal numbers and the delay in data sharing for military members. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inslee has said federal and state numbers aren\u2019t an equal comparison since the CDC uses information for people age 18 and up based on 2019 population numbers, and the state is using 2020 population estimates for those age 16 and up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inslee said it\u2019s possible the state could hit the 70% mark sometime next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI want to get those businesses open as early as possible, that\u2019s why I\u2019m urging people to get vaccinated today,\u201d Inslee said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new lottery applies to military, military staff and family members who were vaccinated through the Department of Defense, Veterans
