lie. UVVI/Vl J gearing up for the on-line games expected to begin at the end of May.
Starting the on-line games involves choosing about 1,500 retailers to receive the initial game terminals, linking the retailers’ computers to the main system in Richmond, and training the staff, explained Lottery director Ken Thorson.
The on-line game will begin with the player picking three numbers. If the numbers appear in the exact order during the nightly drawing, the winner can collect $500.
If the ticket purchaser chooses to play the “any order” game, he or she can win $80. As people become familiar with the on-line games, the number picks will increase.
In other states, on-line games have traditionally had a slower start, said Otto, yet they eventually make up about 80 percent of lottery sales. The Virginia Lottery plans to keep the instant games viable through marketing and promotions, said Otto.
With the success of the state lottery, many individuals are curious to learn where the money goes. Several legislators worked to give some of the lottery dollars back to localities.
However, the 1989 session of the General Assembly chose to support - Gov. Gerald L. Baliles’ proposal to direct the funds into prioritized capital projects. The projects, both large and small, tend to education, health and prison needs.
