Last month, Max Your Vax announced its sweepstakes. Amazon employees who have been vaccinated can win $100,000 or $500,000 and a new car, or a week of vacation with $12,000 off.

The sweepstakes ends Oct. 21. A frontline employee of Amazon must be employed at the time of entry, during the sweepstakes period, and be fully vaccinated.
