When measured with other lotteries of the United States of America, the Virginia Lottery, or VA lottery as we commonly know it these days, is fairly new to the scene. Launched on September 20, 1988, it managed to make a name for itself for a number of reasons, despite having a poor start.
The Virginia Lottery is also quite well-known for being one of the principal states which began offering the Mega Millions lottery game, which was at the time referred to as “The Big Game”. And the best part is that this happened just eight years after the launch of the lottery, in the end of August, 1996.
FUNDING
Another thing the VA lottery is quite famous for is funding the entire state’s young resident’s educational funds. Even on their website, they have claimed that they are “game for education.”
For 20 years, every single benefit and profit earned by the Virginia lottery has been utilized for the educational expenses of all the youngsters in the Commonwealth. Most of the time, these profits and benefits go to everyone – this means that from kindergarten kids to the youth in the 12th grade, everyone in the Commonwealth is well taken care of.
Even in 2018, which was a Fiscal Year, this young but remarkable institution of lottery games managed to have sales of literally more than $2.1 billion. From this great amount of money, the VA lottery managed to raise over $606 million. This means that around 28.3% went to the public educational funds for students from Kindergarten to Intermediate. Around 61.1% of money ended up going to the players who had won the prizes. Around 5.7% ended up going to the people who had been selling the tickets of Virginia lottery, and the remaining 4.9% ended up taking care of administration costs.
