About Virginia Lottery
Virginians love games and will make a game out of anything. Whether it comes in a box, with a scratcher or spontaneously while standing in line at the movies, we never tire of playing, watching or inventing games. Got a wastebasket? We've got game. Got a football? We've got game. Got five minutes? Time for a game! We are game gurus with a passion for playtime and we love inspiring everyone to join in the fun. Games are not just a part of our culture; games are our culture, both as Virginians and at the Virginia Lottery. We want to be the favorite games people play. Community Service: At the Virginia Lottery, we do more in our community than simply sell Lottery tickets. In addition to generating nearly $1.2 million per day for public education, Virginia Lottery employees also volunteer for Super Teacher Community Service Projects. This community outreach initiative brings employees together from across the state to provide a variety of services, including landscaping, cafeteria duty and classroom assistance, for some schools. The success of our Super Teacher program has inspired more and more Lottery employees to get involved with this rewarding experience.
