SISOLAK’S CORRUPT & ILLEGAL VAX LOTTERY STEALS CV19 CASH FROM SMALL BUSINESSES

After raising mining taxes last month, with thousands of folks still waiting for their unemployment to kick in, with small business waiting on pins and needles for their CV19 relief funds still, Gov. Sisolak announced that he is giving away $5 million in federal CV19 relief money to folks who already got the jab. Because of gaming interests, Nevada does not have a lottery like most states. It’s strictly forbidden under Nevada law. Even raffles are strictly limited.

Sisolak’s illegal lottery “makes all state residents who have received at least one vaccination since December automatically eligible to receive part of the $5 million prize money.” Sisolak calls his lottery “Vax Nevada days”.

Kids ages 12 to 17 who get the jab can win college tuition credits worth $5,000 to $50,000. People 18 and older who have at least 1 jab are eligible for prizes from $1,000 to $250,000. One grand prize winner of $1 million will be announced Aug. 26.

Sisolak’s illegal and corrupt VAX Lottery doesn’t fail under benefiting charities since getting the jab financially benefits Pharma companies like Pfizer who announced $3.2 Billion in profits off jabs in the first quarter of 2021. BTW According to public campaign finance records, Sisolak and Dems have received hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign donations from Pharma.

“Vax Nevada Days” will be paid for with federal CV19 relief dollars Nevada received to help businesses. With small business failing by the hundreds and with thousands of folks about to be evicted, giving away $5 million to folks who already got the jab to benefit Pharma companies is corrupt.
