DENVER - Governor Polis announced the winner of the fourth $1 million Colorado Comeback Cash Vaccine Drawing. Stephanie Sharp of Parker is the latest vaccinated Coloradan to win $1 million.
“Congratulations to Stephanie, our latest $1 million dollar winner, and our new scholarship winners. Just for rolling up their sleeves and getting the free COVID-19 vaccine, these six individuals won big and are now not only protecting themselves but their friends and family,” said Governor Polis. “There is still one more chance to win $1 million dollars and ten more chances to win a $50,000 scholarship. Make a plan today to get vaccinated to protect not just yourself from this deadly virus but also grab a shot at winning $1 million or a $50,000 scholarship that could change your life.”
“I’ve been in complete and utter shock since learning I’m Colorado’s fourth Comeback Cash winner. This past year has been challenging for so many people and my heart goes out to those who have experienced hardship. For my family, it's been a tough year, especially as my husband Craig, a nurse at the VA Community Living Center at Fitzsimons in Aurora, was on the frontlines of this pandemic. I want to offer my sincere appreciation to Governor Polis and to the state of Colorado for their efforts in efficiently and equitably distributing the vaccine so we can protect ourselves and each other. I encourage my fellow Coloradans who have not yet been vaccinated to consider doing so as soon as possible,” said Stephanie Sharp, the fourth $1 million Colorado Comeback Cash winner.
Stephanie joined the event remotely from Pennsylvania where she was visiting her family for the first time in many months.
Governor Polis also announced the next round of Comeback Cash Scholarship winners. They are Clara Smith (17) of Berthoud, Bay Morrish (17) of Nederland, Liza C. of Denver, Sula Schuyler (13) of Denver, and Nathan Reseigh (15) of Boulder.
There is still one more chance for Coloradans to win $1 million as part of the Colorado Comeback Cash drawing. Coloradans 18 and older who have received the vaccine will be automatically registered to win. The final winner will be announced on July 7. Coloradans must be vaccinated by June 30 to qualify to win on July 7.
Younger Coloradans ages 12 to 17 are also eligible for the Colorado Comeback Cash Scholarship drawing.
