• To win you must be 18 and older, a Maryland resident, and have received a #COVID19 vaccine here in Maryland.
Anyone 18+ who has already been vaccinated in Maryland at any time is also eligible and will automatically be entered to win.
• If you have *not* yet been vaccinated, the sooner you get your shot, the more lottery drawings you will be eligible for.
• All winners will be notified by @MDHealthDept and all funding is being provided from @MDLottery’s Marketing Fund.
• COVID DATA UPDATE:
-7-day positivity rate (2.06%) is lowest it’s been during the pandemic and 8th lowest in America
