The Precious Metals 2nd Chance promotion has ended. Interested in other 2nd Chance promotions? Check out other 2nd Chance promotions that the Virginia Lottery currently has running.
Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum + a 2nd Chance to win!
Bronze, silver, gold and platinum! The Precious Metals family of Scratchers features four games (ticket price in parentheses).
- $5,000 Bronze Jackpot ($1)
- $40,000 Silver Jackpot ($2)
- $250,000 Gold Jackpot ($5)
- $1,000,000 Platinum Jackpot ($10)
Each ticket is loaded with chances to win, and there’s a 2nd Chance promotion in which 10 players each week will win $500. At the end of the promotion, one player will win $250,500.
The number in each game name is that game’s top prize, so you could win up to $1,000,000* playing $1,000,000 Platinum Jackpot! If your Precious Metals Scratcher is not a winner, each non-winning Precious Metals Scratcher can be entered online to gain entries into one of 13 weekly drawings. In each of the first 12 drawings, 10 players each will win $500. The 13th drawing will be the final drawing, and, in that drawing, one player will win $250,500!
Each of the 13 drawings is separate. The number of entries each non-winning Precious Metals Scratcher gets you is based upon the ticket price.
- $5,000 Bronze Jackpot – This $1 game gets you one (1) entry.
- $40,000 Silver Jackpot – This $2 game gets you two (2) entries.
- $250,000 Gold Jackpot – This $5 game gets you five (5) entries.
- $1,000,000 Platinum Jackpot – This $10 game gets you 10 entries.
If you enter non-winning Scratchers of all four games in the family at one time, you get 50 bonus entries plus the entries you get for entering each individual ticket in the family! That adds up to 68 entries. Just choose the Bonus entry from the drop-down ticket menu to enter all four games and qualify for the bonus.
Note that all entries that do not win a prize in the drawing in which they are entered are automatically entered into the final drawing.
* $1,000,000 prizes will be paid in annual installments for 30 years. Cash value = $640,205. Odds of winning the top prize in each game: $5,000 Bronze Jackpot: 1 in 594,514.29; $40,000 Silver Jackpot: 1 in 979,200; $250,000 Gold Jackpot: 1 in 1,632,000; $1,000,000 Platinum Jackpot: 1 in 1,632,000. Odds of winning in the Precious Metals Family 2nd Chance promotion depend on the number of entries received.
