Vermont Lottery's own games

Vermont Lottery runs draw games of its own, and their results are not in our database yet — we publish a game only once two independent official sources agree on every draw in its history, and we have not built that for Vermont. Rather than republish a feed we have not checked, the page says so. Vermont Lottery publishes its own results here.

What is on this page instead is the part nobody else computes: what the multi-state games are worth under Vermont's rules, which is not what they are worth under anyone else's.

Vermont lottery questions

What lottery games can you play in Vermont?
Mega Millions and Powerball, plus Vermont Lottery's own draw games and scratch tickets. We publish the multi-state analysis and the Vermont rules; Vermont Lottery's own draw games are not in our database yet.
Does Vermont sell Power Play and Double Play?
Power Play, yes — $1 a play. Double Play, no: 30 of the 48 lotteries sell it and Vermont is not one of them, so a Vermont line tops out at $3.
How much tax does Vermont withhold from lottery winnings?
6%, held back before the cheque is written and on top of 24% federal withholding. Withholding is not the final bill. The calculator works out what you would actually keep.
Which Vermont lottery game has the best odds?
Mega Millions, at 1 in 23.07 of winning something — though the prizes are correspondingly smaller, and winning often is not the same as winning much.
Where do these Vermont numbers come from?
The multi-state games are cross-checked against several official sources before we publish them. Every source is listed here. The Vermont rules on this page were read from powerball.com and Vermont Lottery on 2026-09-22.
