RE: VaxMillions Giveaway – Technical and Other Support Provided by Lottery
DATE: June 15, 2021
The Massachusetts Governor’s Office has recently announced the Massachusetts VaxMillions
Giveaway that aims to increase awareness of the availability and efficacy of the COVID-19
vaccines, and encourage residents to get vaccinated and to be safe. Eligible residents will be able
to submit an entry into the VaxMillions Giveaway beginning on July 1, 2021. There will be five
weekly statewide drawings, with participants being eligible to win the prizes below:
• Massachusetts residents 18 years of age and older, who have received both doses of the
Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, will have a
chance to win one of five, $1 million cash prizes.
• Massachusetts residents between 12 and 17 years of age who have received both doses of the
Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination may have a chance to win one of five $300,000 scholarship
grants, which can be applied to cover tuition, room and board, and related expenses at any
college, university, or technical or trade school or other post-secondary educational
institution of the winner’s choice. Winners with a qualifying disability may instead elect to
receive an equivalent financial contribution to a special needs trust or Federally qualified
ABLE account to cover qualified expenses.
All expenses associated with this request, including prize money, will be funded via the
Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Fund provided by the American Rescue Plan Act and the
Department of Public Health will confirm that a potential winner has received all required
vaccination doses. The Massachusetts State Lottery Commission has been asked to provide
technical and other support for the VaxMillions Giveaway. The requested assistance has been
characterized by the Executive Office of Technology Services & Security as immediate and
urgent.
It is requested that the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission authorize the Executive Director
to provide the requested technical and program support for the VaxMillions Giveaway, which
includes but may not be limited to, setting up the secure infrastructure and registration portal,
conducting the official drawings, and implementing other services and functions as requested
and required for the effectuation of the program.

services from Salesforce.com, Inc. Per the terms of ITS60, the Lottery utilized Heroku
infrastructure/development services after receiving a two-year quote from Carahsoft Technology
Corporation and Salesforce.com, Inc. of one hundred sixty-nine thousand, sixty-one dollars
($169,061.23).
In order to provide the immediate and urgent services requested for the VaxMillions Giveaway,
the Lottery needs to procure Heroku infrastructure/development services for the program’s
infrastructure and registration portal. These Heroku services include, but may not be limited to,

and registration portal for the VaxMillions Giveaway. The total maximum obligation of the

In light of the exigent need of the applicable services and important and time-sensitive nature of
the encouraging residents to get vaccinated, it is requested that the Massachusetts State Lottery
Commission authorize the Executive Director to enter into a temporary emergency contract with
Experian Information Services, Inc. to procure services for the identification and removal of
duplicate records of entries into the VaxMillions Giveaway. The total maximum obligation of
this contract shall not exceed two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000.00). Experian
