- I received a message that says my entry form has already been entered. How can that be if I have the entry form in my possession, and what should I do?
First, check your list of previously submitted entries to verify that the entry form has not been previously entered by you.

Include all applicable numbers that you tried to enter, and the Virginia Lottery will investigate. - May I enter a drawing more than once?

How can I see which entry forms have been entered?
