加州设彩票大奖鼓励疫苗接种

California Gov. Gavin Newsom played gameshow host Friday in a drawing for 15 winners of $50,000 prizes for getting vaccinated against the coronavirus.

加州州长加文·纽森周五举办了一场游戏，为15名接种了冠状病毒疫苗的获胜者抽奖，奖金为5万美元。

“If you’re on the fence, if you’re just a little bit hesitant or you just were unwilling in the past but all the sudden you think, 'Wait a sec, I could really use $50,000,' we’re doing all of this to encourage that and to get you to think anew and hopefully act anew," Newsom said at the California State Lottery headquarters, where he was flanked by a machine used to randomly choose winners and a Wheel of Fortune-style colored wheel for show.

“也许你会有点防御心理，也许有点犹豫，又或许你之前不愿意去接种，但突然，你可以想'等一下，我说不定可以赢得5万美金’我们做这个活动就是为了鼓励接种，更新人们的认识和行为，”纽森在加州彩票站说道，他旁边就是一台随机选号的集齐，还有一个彩色的幸运大转盘。

It was the first in a series of drawings for $16.5 million in prize money aimed at encouraging Californians to get their shots ahead of June 15, when the state plans to lift almost all virus-related restrictions.

这是一系列总奖金高达1650万美元的抽奖活动中的第一个，旨在鼓励加州人在6月15日前接种疫苗。加州计划在6月15日前取消几乎所有与病毒相关的限制。

So far, 67% of eligible people 12 and older have received at least one dose of the vaccine.

到目前为止，12岁及以上符合条件的人群中有67%至少接种了一剂疫苗。

The state's goal is to fully vaccinate at least 75% of people.

该州的目标是为至少75%的人全面接种疫苗。

Newsom announced the prize money last week, warning the state's vaccination rates were about to go off a cliff without an intervention.

纽森上周宣布了奖金，并警告说，如果不采取干预措施，该州的疫苗接种率将急剧下降。

State officials said vaccine rates had dropped at the time by 18% from the week before.

该州官员说，疫苗接种率比前一周下降了18%。

In the week since Californians became eligible to win money, vaccinations were down 4% from the prior week, Newsom spokeswoman Erin Mellon said. One million vaccinations were given in the past week, she said.

纽森的发言人梅隆说，自从加州人有资格赢得奖金以来，接种疫苗人数比前一周下降了4%。她说，过去一周接种了100万剂疫苗。

Next week, another 15 people will win $50,000, and on June 15 there will be 10 grand prize winners who will get $1.5 million each — the largest of any vaccination prize in the country.

下周，另有15人将赢得5万美元奖金，6月15日将有10名大奖得主，他们每人将获得150万美元——这是美国最大型的疫苗抽奖。

The winners will remain anonymous unless they give the state permission to share their names, and they have 96 hours to claim their prizes before the state draws alternate winners.

除非州政府允许获奖者分享他们的名字，否则获奖者将保持匿名，并且在州政府抽奖前，他们有96小时的时间领取奖金。
