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.

Here’s how to play Pick 3:

• Choose your play amount. You can play Pick 3 for $1 or 50¢.
• Choose your play type. You've got options, so see the Play types section for detailed descriptions.
• Choose your draw. You can play a day draw, night draw or both!

• The Pick 3 cutoff time occurs daily at 1:53 p.m. ET for the day drawing and at 10:45 p.m. ET for the night drawing.

Play types

One of the things that makes Pick 3 fun is that there are so many ways to play! Here they are.

• Exact Order: Play it straight! Match all three digits in the same order as drawn.
• Any Order: Give yourself options! Match all three of the digits drawn; the order doesn't matter.
• 50/50: The best of both worlds — split a $1 play in half! Put 50¢ on Exact Order and 50¢ on Any Order.
• Combo: Cover all the bases! Play Exact Order on every possible combination of a three-digit number.
• Pairs: Chose only two digits! Win with an Exact Order match regardless of what third digit is drawn.

Ignite your game with FIREBALL! Here’s how it works:

• After each day and night Pick 3 drawing, the FIREBALL number will be drawn from 10 numbered balls (0-9).
• You can use the FIREBALL number to replace any of the Lottery-drawn numbers to make new combinations (create three new combinations of numbers for Pick 3). If your selected numbers match any of the three new FIREBALL winning combinations, you win a FIREBALL prize.
• Adding FIREBALL doubles the cost of your play(s).
• Adding FIREBALL improves your chance to win a prize.
• All FIREBALL wins are separate and in addition to other Pick 3 wins.
