SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Smith’s Food and Drug’s parent company has given customers 5 million reasons to get the COVID-19 shot.

Kroger announced Friday that customers who get a shot will have the opportunity to win one of five $1 million dollar prizes.

The company said customers can also become eligible to win one of 50 prizes of free groceries for a year. 

Fully vaccinated employees will still get a one-time payment bonus of $100.

The #CommunityImmunity Giveaway was created by Kroger Health to support the Biden Administration’s goal of getting 70% of U.S. adults their first COVID-19 vaccine dose by July 4. 

Kroger said its stores have already administered more than 4.7 million shots. 

Here are the details from Kroger: 

  • Between June 3, 2021, and July 10, 2021, Kroger Health is giving away $5 million, reflecting a $1 million winner each week for five weeks, as well as 50 “groceries for a year,” ten each week for five weeks, each valued at $13,000 (which is the equivalent of $250 a week for 52 weeks). 
  • To enter, participants must be 18 years of age or older, and legally reside and physically be located in one of the 50 United States or Washington, D.C. 
  • To enter online, entrants must receive or have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at a Kroger Family Company location or by a Kroger Family Company healthcare professional at an off-site event.
