Congratulate the worst option?

When a team member gets promoted, everyone sends emails with their “congratulations! Well deserved!” type emails. Any advice on sending an email when they pick the wrong person (not sour grapes; I didn’t apply). In my position, to say nothing would be glaring (and possibly set me up for retaliation). So just “Congrats, Betty!”? (Even the ! feels wrong). Work politics. Ugh.
