The decision seems to have been made with the intention of encouraging people to get vaccinated. Leica Shing CK Group, in particular, along with its charitable organizations, launched the scheme on Tuesday.
Those who share evidence of two-dose vaccination will receive $ 2.6 million worth of shopping vouchers as a gift through the lottery.
New World Growth Co., led by another billionaire Adrian Cheng, will offer $ 10 million in Hong Kong city to low-income people who have been vaccinated, Chief Executive Carrie Lam said.
Lam further added the value of vouchers and other lottery programs had exceeded 120 million Hong Kong dollars.

Sino Group’s charity NG Teng Fang Charitable Foundation and Chinese Estates Holdings Ltd jointly announced last month that they would be gifting a brand-new apartment worth 1.4 million in the Kwan Tong area.

Last month, the government declared that the rate of vaccination would increase by September, with measures such as paid vacation for inoculated officials and potential extra limitations for non-vaccinated residents.
Boosting Hong Kong’s rate is crucial for company owners. The low numbers hinder the city’s ability to reach herd immunity — vital to fully reopening the economy and protecting it against more transmittable mutant Covid strains.
