$2.1 billion. That’s how much Virginia Lottery players have won or claimed (before taxes) from January to June 2024. From scratchers and online games to weekly drawings, there are countless ways to win.

Here are a few of our favorite games:

  • CA$H TO GO | Your favorite lottery’s favorite lottery ticket. Take this scratch off “HOT TO GO!” for a chance to win $250.
  • Daily Crossword | This Print ‘n Play is like your morning puzzle, but with an opportunity to win $20,000. Psst... there’s bingo + blackjack, too.
  • Team USA | Did you know you can play the lottery online? Get into the Olympics spirit with archery, gymnastics, and 100-meter hurdles; the top prize is $300,000.
  • Mega Millions | Tickets cost just $2 for a chance to win the jackpot + other cash prizes. Drawings happen every Tuesday and Friday, and if no one wins, the prize keeps growing.
