Launched in early October 2021, the Million Dollar Vax contest has, so far, enticed 1.73 million Australians from 18 years old and above to sign up for a raffle entry from the official site. All they needed to be eligible was to get at least one jab of the Pfizer or AstraZeneca vaccine before the grand event.

Craig Winkler, the chairperson of Million Dollar Vax, said that they are extremely pleased by the turnout of Australians who signed up for the million-dollar draw on 5 November 2021. However, the group has also been giving away 100 gift cards worth $1,0000 on a daily basis since the launch and 1.3 million more gift cards are set to be given away until the end of the month.

The Million Dollar Vax initiative was inspired by the vaccination contest in Ohio in the U.S. where five residents, who have gotten their first jab, won one million each.

Aside from Pagewood and Hillsdale, a high number of residents of Botany, Daceyville, Eastgardens, and Mascot also got in on the contest.
