About the Agency

For more than three decades, the Virginia Lottery has worked to build a strong reputation, one synonymous with providing fun, entertaining experiences and doing so responsibly and with integrity. Proceeds from traditional Lottery games support K-12 public education in Virginia. Taxes generated by sports wagering and casino gaming, which are regulated by the Lottery, benefit other priorities of the Commonwealth.

The Virginia Lottery offers an extensive portfolio of games including Scratchers, draw games, Print ‘n Play games and online instant games. But the Lottery is more than its games. The agency also celebrates students with its Thank a Teacher Art Contest and recognizes teachers with its Thank a Teacher campaign. Field sales reps build strong relationships with its more than 5,300 valuable retail partners, and all employees have opportunities to engage with Virginians at a variety of community events, and participate in a robust Lottery Outreach program through Lottery-sponsored volunteer activities across the commonwealth.

Built on the foundation of its core values of Integrity, Innovation, Collaboration, Empowerment and Customer Focus, the Virginia Lottery’s mission is to contribute to Virginia’s future one play at a time by responsibly creating and regulating games, experiences and fun to benefit K-12 public education and Virginia initiatives.
