Virginia Lottery's own games
Virginia Lottery runs draw games of its own, and their results are not in our database yet. Virginia 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 Virginia's rules, which is not what they are worth under anyone else's.

Virginia lottery questions
- What lottery games can you play in Virginia?
- Mega Millions and Powerball, plus Virginia Lottery's own draw games and scratch tickets. We publish the multi-state analysis and the Virginia rules; Virginia Lottery's own draw games are not in our database yet.
- Does Virginia sell Power Play and Double Play?
- Power Play, yes — $1 a play. Double Play, no: 30 of the 48 lotteries sell it and Virginia is not one of them, so a Virginia line tops out at $3.
- How much tax does Virginia withhold from lottery winnings?
- 4%, 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 Virginia 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. A scratcher is a different proposition again: the best on sale in Virginia now returns about 88 cents on the dollar.
- Where do these Virginia numbers come from?
- The multi-state games are cross-checked against several official sources before we publish them. Every source is listed here. The Virginia rules on this page were read from powerball.com and Virginia Lottery on 2026-09-22.
