Congratulations to the first winner of the $40,000 lottery for those who have received the COVID-19 vaccine (“Baltimore City resident wins second VaxCash vaccine lottery award of $40,000,” May 26).

But I question how the state can sanction something like this that does not include all who received their vaccine at locations outside the state, or those who are Maryland residents serving in the military elsewhere, or even those of us who cannot get the vaccine for medical reasons. It is nice to know we are all treated equally.
