The sweepstakes is in partnership with Meijer and the Michigan Association of United Ways.
The full details of the sweepstakes were announced during a press conference Thursday morning.
Vaccinated Michiganders will get a chance to win a combined total of more than $5 million in cash and nine, $55,000 college scholarships will be given out through a lottery-style raffle.
Under the plan, there will be scholarship drawings, daily drawings and two drawings – one of $1 million and one of $2 million.
Michigan's COVID-19 vaccine rate has slowed immensely. The state just surpassed 5 million people with at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, nearly two months after crossing the 4 million mark.
