HUNTINGTON, WV – Gov. Jim Justice gave two vaccinated West Virginians the thrill of a lifetime today when he and Babydog surprised them outside of Joan C. Edwards Stadium – the home field of Marshall University's football team – presenting them with a pair of major prizes through the “Do it for Babydog: Round 2” Vaccination Sweepstakes.
Beth Eaves of Branchland in Lincoln County was presented the keys to a 2021 BMW M240i coupe.
Matthew Hill of Huntington – who works as a parole officer with the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation – was presented the keys to a Bennington pontoon boat, complete with a 50hp Yamaha High Thrust outboard motor and an accompanying trailer.
Later in the day, Gov. Justice provided a life-changing opportunity to two West Virginia students when he and Babydog surprised them at their schools and revealed that they had each won a full ride college scholarship through the sweepstakes.

Today marked the first of six weeks of prize giveaways as part of “Do it for Babydog: Round 2.”

A total of 25 West Virginians were announced as “Do it for Babydog” winners today, taking home a variety of exciting prizes.
