Carlyle wasn't the only big winner Wednesday. Zoie Vincent, of Mayfield Village, is the second student in the lottery to win a full scholarship, including tuition for four years, books and room and board, at an Ohio public university or college. Five scholarships will ultimately be awarded.

Nearly 133,000 Ohioans ages 12 to 17 entered the scholarship drawing. Vincent, a senior at Mayfield High School, plans to study pre-med and go to medical school.

\"I felt like a weight off my shoulders,\" Vincent said during the press briefing of finding out she won. \"I could really see my career ahead of me, instead of seeing a time of me paying off my debt.\"

\"It was a big relief in that sense,\" said Vincent, who is interested in Case Western Reserve University and Ohio State University, among others.

Vincent said she personally has had COVID-19, which encouraged her to get the vaccine.

\"I feel like it was honestly the most sick I've ever been,\" she said. \"If I can somehow guarantee that I'll never feel this way again, or my family won't have to feel this way again, I feel like I would definitely take it.\"

Ohio's lottery has been credited with inspiring cash drawings in other states, including California and West Virginia.

DeWine said it has been \"phenomenally\" successful in Ohio, with fewer counties seeing high transmission rates.

A week after the promotion was announced, vaccinations went up 53% week-over-week, the state's health department said.

So far, 45.5% of the state has received at least one dose. More than half -- 53% -- ages 12 and up have.

\"The way we move forward, the way we assure that we get back to normal, is for more and more of us to get vaccinated,\" DeWine said Thursday. \"Every day when we get more people vaccinated, we're making it harder for this virus to spread.\"

The governor said the state is considering additional incentives to \"make this a little more enticing\" and reach people who are waiting to get the vaccine, but didn't have anything official to announce.

\"One of our goals was really to speed people up,\" he said. \"I think that we've succeeded and got a lot of people vaccinated quicker than they would of.\"
