MORGANTOWN, WV – One West Virginian’s life was changed forever when she received a surprise visit from Gov. Jim Justice.

Sharon Turner was personally greeted by the Governor and Babydog, who shared the exciting news that she was the lucky West Virginian whose name had been drawn as the latest million-dollar prize winner of the “Do it for Babydog: Save a life, Change your life” Vaccination Sweepstakes.

The Governor presented Turner with a ceremonial check for $1 million.

The million-dollar giveaway was just one of 50 “Do it for Babydog” Vaccination Sweepstakes prizes announced by Gov. Justice. 

Earlier in the day, Gov. Justice also surprised a woman from Frankford and surprised another woman from Parkersburg with brand-new custom-outfitted trucks.
