The Virginia
Lottery respects the privacy of every person
visiting our website. If you have questions
after reviewing our Privacy Policy, we encourage
you to contact us.
The Virginia Lottery will
not collect any personal information about you
(i.e., your name, address, telephone number,
or email address) unless you provide it to us
voluntarily. If you have access to the Internet,
your computer automatically has an Internet
Protocol ("IP") address. We use IP
addresses to gather information to track the
number of visitors to our website and to identify
our most popular pages so we can improve site
content.
The only ways we can obtain
your personal information are if you submit
it to us through one of our interactive forms
or send us a general inquiry or feedback.
If you do not want your personal
information collected, please do not submit
it to us! If you have already sent this information
to us and would like for us to delete it, please
email us at webmaster@myvalottery.com
While visiting our website,
you may want to send the Virginia Lottery an
email or request that we call you. If so, we
may ask you to provide your name, the subject
of your question or comment, and your email
address or telephone number. This information
is used solely to fulfill your online request.
The Virginia Lottery does not seek to share
this information with any other entity.
If you do nothing during
your visit to the Virginia Lottery website but
browse or download information, we automatically
collect and store the following information
about your visit:
- The Internet Domain and
IP address from which you accessed our site.
- The type of browser and
operating system you used.
- The date and time you
visited our site.
- The pages visited.
- If you linked from another
website, the address of that website.
The information collected
is used to improve the content of our web services
and help us understand how people are using
our pages. We analyze our website logs to continually
improve the value of the materials available
on our site. The information in our web logs
is not personally viewable and no attempt is
made to link it with individuals who browse
our website.
If during your visit to the
Virginia Lottery website you send an email message,
we collect your email address and the contents
of the message you sent us. We use your email
address to respond to you.
Except as specified above,
the Virginia Lottery does not collect personal
information.
The Virginia Lottery does
not seek to share, sell or trade email addresses,
information collected in surveys or in our guest
book, or any other information about our online
visitors. However, the Virginia Lottery will
disclose user information if we have reason
to believe that disclosing this information
is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal
action against an individual who attempts, even
unintentionally, to gain unauthorized access
to the Virginia Lottery or to disrupt our website.
When you visit the Virginia
Lottery website and request information, this
site's server sends the request to you and then
breaks the connection. The connection does not
resume again until you perform another function.
To ensure that we maintain the connection between
our server and your computer for the duration
of an online transaction, we may use a standard
web technology called "cookies." A
"cookie" is a very small amount of
data that is sent from our server to your computer's
hard drive. "Cookies" allow us to
save the information that you input while progressing
through an online transaction. If your browser
is not configured to accept "cookies,"
you still will be able to access the information
on our website. No user information is gathered
through "cookies" on our website.
We maintain security standards
and procedures regarding unauthorized access
to ensure that the Virginia Lottery website
remains available to all users and to prevent
unauthorized attempts to upload or change information
or otherwise cause damage to the site. Information
on individuals causing, or attempting to cause,
damage to the website will be traced and released
to the appropriate legal authorities to investigate
suspected or actual criminal activity.
For your convenience the
Virginia Lottery website may provide links to
other sites. However, the Virginia Lottery is
not responsible for the privacy practices or
the content of the websites to which we link.
When you link to another site you are no longer
on the Virginia Lottery website, and this Privacy
Statement will not apply. When you link to another
website, you are subject to the privacy policy
of that new site. If you have questions or concerns
about a site to which we link, please read the
privacy and security information for that site.
The Virginia Lottery does
not warrant the accuracy, reliability or timeliness
of any information published on the Virginia
Lottery website or any site to which we link,
nor endorse any content, viewpoint, product
or service linked from this system and shall
not be liable for any loss caused by reliance
on the accuracy, reliability or timeliness of
such information. Portions of such information
may be incorrect or not current. Any person
or entity that relies on any information obtained
from this system does so at his or her own risk.

Virginia Lottery website or about the information
