JEFFERSON CITY (KMOX) - Today is the first day 180 vaccinated Missouri residents will win up to $10,000.

Friday is the first drawing of the "MO VIP" lottery. But we won't know who has won until Aug. 25 as the state will contact all winners to verify their vaccination statuses. The state announced earlier this week that more than 375,000 registered to win.

All Missourians who have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine are able to enter to win. You can enter at MOStopsCovid.com/win as there wil be four more drawings happening through Oct. 8.

All told, 800 adults will win $10,000 cash prizes, and 100 people ages 12-17 will win education savings accounts worth $10,000.

Here's the three categories that winners will be drawn from:
Red - Missourians age 18 and up receiving at least one dose of vaccine after July 21.
White - Missourians age 18 and up receiving at least one dose of vaccine before July 21.
Blue - Missourians ages 12 to 17 receiving at least one dose of vaccine at any time.
