About the Virginia Lottery
The Virginia State Lottery dates all the way back to 1988, when it was launched to accumulate funds for various special state programs. In 1999, the Lottery started directing all the profit to K-12 public schools, which amounts to $1.6 million per day on average and approximately half a billion dollars per year. For instance, in the fiscal year 2020, K-12 public schools received around $595 million from the VA Lottery.
