New York — New Yorkers who get vaccinated for Covid-19 in the coming weeks will have the chance to win tickets to Buffalo Bills, New York Giants and New York Jets games.

Gov. Kathy Hochul announced a new partnership with the three teams today. New Yorkers who get their first dose of a vaccine from Sept. 9 through Oct. 24 can enter to take part in drawings for tickets, signed gear, VIP experiences at games, FaceTime calls with former players from the teams, stadium tours and more.

Five weekly drawings will be held, starting Sept. 29.

You can enter online. Parents can enter 12- to 17-year-olds who get vaccinated.

In addition to the drawings, the state will launch a new marketing campaign with the teams to encourage more vaccinations. It will include videos and radio segments with former players who have gotten their shots and messaging on the teams’ social media channels, podcasts and more.

“We’re trying to get all the people who are unvaccinated right now vaccinated,” Hochul said today. “They need to hear from trusted partners.”

More information on the new campaign is available online.
