THANKS TO YOU
Your Virginia Lottery is entering its second decade. Can you believe that it was ten years ago - September 20, 1988 - that the first instant ticket, Match 3, went on sale?
Those ten years have brought many new and improved products that we hope you have found fun and entertaining. That original Match 3 ticket cost $1.00 and had a top prize of $5,000. Today, we offer more than 30 instant games and top prizes now range from $500 to $100,000. In addition, we now offer three “daily” games - Pick 3, Pick 4, and Cash 5 - which you can play from Monday through Saturday. And last, but certainly not least, you can now play our jackpot game, Lotto, and our multi-state jackpot game, The Big Game, twice a week. Since their introductions, Lotto has awarded a top prize of $28.4 million and The Big Game has awarded its largest jackpot of $80.2 million.
For you, our customers, this has meant millions of winners and, on average, two of you a month have become millionaires. If you haven’t yet won, we hope that we have provided you with entertainment and excitement. And if you are one of the few people who worries that you play more than you should, we have a tollfree telephone number on the back of every lottery ticket to give you help.
