The awards come the day California fully reopens and lifts COVID-19 restrictions like masks, social distancing and capacity limits.

During the event at “an iconic California landmark,” Newsom is expected to award $1.5 million to each of the winners as a finale to his Vax for the Win program. The initiative was set up last month to incentivize Californians to get the vaccine.

The governor has already awarded $50,000 to 30 winners and is doling out $100 million in $50 grocery cards for the recently vaccinated. On Monday, Newsom also announced six vacation packages as part of the program.

So far, California has administered 39.5 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, according to a June 13 statewide data update. More than 18 million people are fully vaccinated, and another 3.7 million are partially vaccinated.
