Want $1 million or a year of free groceries? Kroger is offering prizes to vaccinated customers.

Helping with the national drive to get 70% of Americans vaccinated against COVID-19, Kroger is offering customers, workers or individuals who get the shot the chance to win $1 million or free groceries for a year.

The sweepstakes are being offered in collaboration with the Biden Administration as part of the president’s bid to get the U.S. toward the threshold of herd immunity – where so many Americans are protected against the new coronavirus that it can’t spread.

Starting next week, Kroger will offer a $1 million prize and, separately, free groceries for a year to 10 other winners. The grocer will offer five weekly drawings, ultimately awarding five $1 million prizes and a free year's groceries to 50 other winners.

Details and rules will be announced next week for the campaign, called “The Community Immunity Giveaway” and promoting it on social media with #CommunityImmunity. People who have already gotten vaccinated are also eligible to enter the drawings.

1. I thought you meant either/or

In which case, duh, I’ll take the million.

We don’t have Kroger’s here, but they did purchase a chain here called Mariano’s, sadly diminishing it. If I won the groceries, I’d buy some for everyone I know, because the two of us really don’t eat that much.

2. That's pretty funny

How can you possibly eat a million dollars in groceries in a year. I know food prices have soured but a million in52 weeks? You’d have to buy a little over 19,000 a week to get a million for the year.

3. I know!

But that’s how your thought processes go early in the morning with only half your cuppa coffee ingested. I thought, well, you’d have to be pretty dumb to choose the year’s groceries over the $1 million!
