CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – Virginia Lottery ended the 2025 fiscal year (FY25) with its second-highest profit in Lottery’s 37-year history. The profits generated $901 million for Virginia’s K-12 public schools.

“This $901 million contribution from Virginia Lottery profits is a powerful testament to our steadfast commitment to investing in the future of every student,” said Governor Glenn Youngkin. “Every dollar generated through the Lottery directly supports the teachers, schools, and programs shaping the next generation of Virginians, reinforcing our promise to provide a world-class education. This vital source of funding represents nearly 10 percent of our K-12 education budget to ensure that classrooms across Virginia have the resources they need to foster learning, innovation, and opportunity.”

The profits were driven by record total sales of more than $5.7 billion in the fiscal year that ended June 30. The biggest win of FY25 was a massive Mega Millions jackpot worth an estimated $348 million, which was won by someone who bought their ticket at a convenience store, E & C Mid-Atlantic, in Burgess. It is the largest jackpot ever won in Virginia.
