More people playing lottery in Virginia

More and more people are playing the Virginia Lottery. Wednesday, Governor Glenn Youngkin announced that in the 12 months that ended on June 30th, the Virginia Lottery sold more than $5.5 billion worth of games in fiscal year 2024, generating $934 million in profit. Governor Youngkin says that because lottery profits help fund K-12 education, more money will be going toward retaining teachers and improving technology and student outcomes across Virginia.
