Get your COVID-19 jab, win a FREE car?!

Lucky Moscow residents could be in with a shout of winning a brand new car if they get their COVID-19 jab...

That’s some incentive.

The news was announced recently by Moscow’s Mayor after a surge in cases in the Russian capital prompted urgent action.

The solution, naturally, is a prize draw for five cars worth £10,000 each, with everyone over 18 who gets their vaccine from 14 June – 11 July being automatically entered.

Now, I’m not saying I wouldn’t have gotten my jab, but the chance of winning a car would make me scurry on down to the vaccination centre a little bit quicker.

Russia has taken some drastic actions in recent weeks after a spike in cases. Bars and restaurants are operating with an 11 pm curfew, while sports pitches, playgrounds, and attractions in large parks have closed for a week.

Incentives are nothing new, but it’s a little bit unusual to see such a high-value prize draw to encourage people to get their COVID-19 jabs…

The drastic action looks to have been taken after their vaccine figures lagged slightly, with just 1.3 million out of Moscow’s 12 million residents receiving their first jab by 21 May.

So, what’s the best incentive you’ve ever seen?

If it’s vehicle-related, then I’m all ears!
