MORGANTOWN, WV – Gov. Jim Justice and Babydog gave one vaccinated West Virginian the surprise of a lifetime today, presenting him with a new luxury sports car through the “Do it for Babydog: Round 2” Vaccination Sweepstakes.

Jeffery Darnell of Morgantown was named as the winner of a 2021 Chevrolet Corvette.
Darnell was one of 25 big winners in the “Do it for Babydog” sweepstakes this week.
Earlier in the day, Gov. Justice visited George Washington High School in Kanawha County to surprise student Ashlee Wilcher, announcing that she had won a full four-year scholarship to any public college or university in the state, including room and board, tuition, and books; a prize valued at over $100,000.
Then, the Governor surprised both Lilly Keith from Buckhannon-Upshur High School in Upshur County and Mason Thompson from Philip Barbour High School in Barbour County, announcing that they too had each won full-ride college scholarships through the sweepstakes.
While at Buckhannon-Upshur High School, the Governor also recognized Benjamin Currence, who last week was announced as a scholarship winner through the sweepstakes as well.
Wilcher, Keith, and Thompson were among five college scholarship winners this week.

Chase Donaldson of Summersville and Angela Watts of Cross Lanes were also drawn as scholarship winners.

Additional winners were announced today for prizes including a custom boat, a dream wedding valued at $150,000, free gas for 10 years, premium ATVs, top-of-the-line zero turn lawn mowers, WVU and Marshall University football or basketball season ticket packages, and season passes to West Virginia ski resorts.
