The Virginia Lottery
The Virginia Lottery creates excitement, encourages friendly competition, and supports Virginians’ love of games. And not just our games, but all games! We’re Game. Are you?
For over 30 years we’ve been working and playing together, building an amazing organization committed to growing and giving back – and having fun while doing it. Operating entirely on revenue from game sales, rather than tax dollars, the Virginia Lottery generates approximately $1.6 million per day for Virginia’s K-12 public schools.
