The Virginia Lottery's ticket sales support K-12 education in the state.

Take your signed ticket to any Virginia Lottery retailer if you win a cash prize under $600. Please bring your Social Security card or an official document with your Social Security number to a Lottery customer service center or one of our prize zones if you are winning $600 or more. Besides a photo ID, you'll need a green card if you are not a U.S. citizen. Please put your Social Security number along with your signature on the back of your winning ticket if you want to mail in your prize. Remember, if you want to cash a winning check at Bank of America (our bank), you'll have to show two forms of identification.
