Maryland Residents Who Receive COVID-19 Vaccinations Can Win $40,000 in Daily Drawings and $400,000 on Fourth of July Via State Promotion with Maryland Lottery

The effort to administer COVID-19 vaccines and end the health crisis has made significant strides as more residents have become vaccinated. To reward those who have been vaccinated, and encourage others to get vaccinations, the State of Maryland is giving out daily awards to vaccinated individuals each day through July 4, with a major prize of $400,000 being awarded on Independence Day. 

Governor Larry Hogan, the Maryland Lottery and the Maryland Department of Health (MDH) have launched the $2 Million VaxCash Promotion, which will award at total $2 million in cash prizes to a total of 41 Maryland residents who have been vaccinated. 

A $40,000 winner will be chosen each day. Maryland residents 18 and older who have received a COVID-19 vaccination in Maryland at any time are eligible to win. No registration or entry is needed. 

The VaxCash Promotion wraps up on the Fourth of July when a final drawing will award one winner a grand prize of $400,000. 

Each Maryland resident age 18 or older who has been vaccinated in Maryland will be randomly assigned a number in a secure system maintained by MDH, which serves as the custodian of Maryland’s vaccination records. Separately, the Lottery will use a random number generator to select a winning number each day from the total number of people who have been vaccinated. 

MDH will notify the winners, who must provide written consent of their willingness to accept the prize. The Lottery will contact the winners with instructions on how to claim prizes. Winners will be permitted to remain anonymous, but will be encouraged to share their stories. 

Prizes will be paid directly from the Lottery’s marketing budget, and will not diminish the Lottery’s contribution to the Maryland General Fund.
