Australians vaccinated against COVID-19 are being given the chance to win $1 million thanks to a new campaign dedicated to accelerating the country's vaccination rates reported 9news.

The Million Dollar Vax campaign will give away a total of $4.1 million worth of prizes to people vaccinated against the virus in the next four and a half weeks.

It will award $1000 gift cards to entrants daily on top of the ultimate $1 million prize, which will be given away on 5 November.

The campaign is the work of the Million Dollar Vax Alliance, a collaboration of philanthropists and corporations who want to drive vaccination rates above 80 per cent nationally as quickly as possible.

All Australians aged 18 and over are eligible to enter the draw, with those already vaccinated still eligible to win, provided both vaccinations have been received by six weeks after October 31, 2021.
