12 Days of Deals

With its annual 12 Days of Deals promotion, Virginia Lottery online is again offering lotto players a festive lineup of deals.

Since its rollout in July 2020, the VA Lotto has had one of the nation’s most successful online-lottery rollouts.

In fact, the Virginia Lottery reached its initial full-year sales projections in just six months. Then it beat the revised projections in the second half of the fiscal year as sales continued to soar.

After 18 months of online success, including more than $1 billion in sales, the VA Lottery is now rewarding players. It’s bringing back its 12 Days of Deals promo.

The offers are coming daily, and they all have winter-holiday themes.

VA Lottery’s holiday reminder: Gift responsibly

As Christmas and the holiday season roll around, many Virginians will pick up a handful of lotto tickets, especially scratchers. After all, they’re quick and convenient options for stocking stuffers, Secret Santa exchanges, holiday parties and the like.

But as it does each December, the Virginia Lottery is reminding players to “gift responsibly.”

Here’s the messaging:

While lottery tickets do make great gifts and stocking stuffers for the adults on your list, they are not appropriate gifts for anyone younger than 18. In fact, it’s against the law in Virginia to give a lottery ticket to a minor. So, remember to Gift Responsibly: Make sure everyone on your Lottery gift list is 18 or older!

Virginia Lottery tickets can be purchased at more than 5,000 official retailers across the commonwealth. Self-service machines are also located across Virginia.

You can use the VA Lottery’s “Find a Retailer” tool to locate nearby options.
