If you go for an Easy Pick, a random set of numbers will be chosen for you. Ticket sales close one hour before the drawings on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
As well as being able to play in up to 26 consecutive draws, you can also plan ahead for a special date by selecting the OPTIONAL PLAYS box on your playslip and entering one ‘Future’ draw. Just let the store clerk know which date you want to play. Another option is to select ‘Repeat’ on your playslip if you want to have the same numbers printed on up to 20 separate tickets.
If you win a prize of over $5,000, it will be subject to a state tax of 4 percent in addition to the federal tax of 24 percent.

A Powerball ticket is a bearer instrument, so if you lose it and have not signed it there is no chance that you will be able to claim any prizes you might have won. If your ticket has been damaged, it is unlikely to be eligible for any prize unless it still meets certain conditions. The ticket must still be intact and cannot be unreadable, counterfeit, defective, torn, stolen, defaced, altered, reconstituted, tampered with or previously paid. The ticket data must correspond exactly with the lottery’s computer records.
You can only remain anonymous in Virginia if you claim a Powerball prize that is larger than $10 million; no personal information will be allowed to be disclosed by the Virginia Lottery, though they may still release the amount won, and the retailer from which the winning ticket was bought. If you win up to $10 million, you will still have to go public; your name and hometown will be revealed and a news release will be posted with your photo. While the Virginia Freedom of Information Act requires your identity to be made public for any win up to $10 million, your home address, phone number and Social Security number will not be released.
The majority of the money raised from Powerball ticket sales, 58 percent, is returned to players in the form of prizes. More than a quarter of the revenue, 28 percent, also goes towards public education from kindergarten right through to 12th grade. You can see a full breakdown of where the Virginia Lottery’s revenues go in the table below:
Aread of Spending | Percentage of Revenue |
---|---|
Prizes | 57.8% |
Public Education | 28.3% |
Operating Expenses | 8.5% |
Retailer Compensation | 5.4% |
The lottery has generated hundreds of millions of dollars for schools every year since its inception in 1989. To date, more than $11 billion has been allocated to public education, and funded programs have included Career and Technical Education, the Virginia Preschool Initiative, Early Reading Intervention, Special Education and School Breakfast Program.
Dave Honeywell became Virginia's first Powerball jackpot winner on February 6th 2013 when he banked $217 million. A computer scientist with the Department of Defense, the Fredericksburg resident purchased his ticket on Superbowl Sunday as he was flying out of Richmond International Airport on a business trip.
He did not discover his good fortune until after he had returned a couple of days later, and his wife admitted that she ‘thought he might be having a heart attack’ when he phoned to give her the news. They announced that they had no immediate plans to quit their jobs, but he did say that he would be happy to replace his 13-year-old car that had 170,000 miles on the clock.

History of the Virginia Lottery
Virginia's current Lottery isn't its first - in fact, the Commonwealth has over 400 years of lottery experience. The Virginia Company raised 29,000 pounds in 1612 in the 'Great Virginia Lottery' to help the Jamestown Settlement. Later, lotteries were used to raise funds for the establishment of the University of William and Mary as well as the University of Virginia.
The current Virginia Lottery was established by popular vote in 1987 and tickets went on sale in 1988. Proceeds originally went to a general fund for construction projects, but in 1999 lottery profits began to be allocated for educational initiatives.
Today, the Virginia Lottery brings smiles to millions of faces across the Old Dominion as players pick up amazing prizes and public education receives vital funding from lottery revenues. Over $6 billion has been allocated to K-12 initiatives in the Commonwealth since 1999 alone!
Rules
You need to be at least 18 years old to buy and redeem lottery tickets in Virginia.
