Greetings!
 Welcome to the Virginia Lottery’s website. I hope you take some time to check out the many things we have going on. Our site offers a wealth of information, including winning numbers and information about our great games. It also explains the Lottery’s contribution to K-12 public education and tells stories of people like you who “hit it big.” You may also want to follow the progress of our strategic plan under “Lottery Performs.”
Over the past 22 years, the Lottery has become an accepted and familiar part of Virginia’s landscape. We’ve worked hard to build a reputation for integrity, innovation and fun. With nearly 5,000 retail partners across the Commonwealth, we work to produce a product for Virginians and visitors to our state that will provide entertainment and possible winnings
for the player, a commission for the retailer and
a solid benefit for the state.
Since the first ticket was sold in 1988, the Commonwealth has received more than $7 billion in Lottery profits. Since 1999 those profits have gone exclusively to K-12 public education in Virginia. In that time, the Lottery has raised more than $4 billion in profits – something in which all Virginians can take pride, whether or not they play the Lottery.
We appreciate all the support we receive from our players and retailers. We know that playing the Lottery is a choice, so we work hard every day to earn your business and keep your trust.
If you have questions or comments, we want to hear from you. Just click on the “contact us” link at the top of this page and let us know what you think. You can also follow us on Facebook and Twitter. It is very important for us to hear from players and non-players alike, so we can continue to provide the best possible Lottery for the Commonwealth.
The Lottery’s mission is "Contributing to Virginia's future, one play at a time." That statement speaks volumes about what we do every day. By raising money for K-12 public education in Virginia, we are indeed contributing to the Commonwealth’s future.
Sincerely,
Paula I. Otto
Executive Director
