Following in the steps of Ohio Republican Governor Mike DeWine’s lottery, Maryland and New York state will start giving residents opportunities to win cash prizes in exchange for a jab.

Maryland Governor Larry Hogan (R-MD) announced his state’s contest in a presser Thursday, while standing next to a man dressed in a lottery-ball suit, reports The New York Times.
