The promotion comes as officials look to spur more Illinois residents to get vaccinated. On Monday, the Illinois Department of Public Health said about 65% of Illinois adults have received at least one dose of the vaccine and 48% of adults are now fully vaccinated.

Earlier this month, Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced Six Flags Great America would be offering up to 50,000 free tickets to its amusement parks in Gurnee and Rockford to newly vaccinated residents.

Some of the tickets will be given away outside the park itself, where an Illinois National Guard mobile vaccination team will set up shop the first weekend of June.
