VA LOTTERY WINNING NUMBERS

Virginia is one of the states in the eastern United States. In 1987, Virginians agreed to create a state-operated lottery. At the present time, all proceeds were used to alleviate public education (from kindergarten to 12th grade) in the Commonwealth. The Virginia lottery has also evolved in the past few years. They now have different kinds of lottery systems such as Mega Millions, Win for Life, Cash 5, Pick 3, and Pick 4. Among the aforementioned systems, Pick 3 numbers VA (corresponds to Pick 3 system in Virginia) is the easiest and has a bigger chance that a player can win the prize at stake.

In Pick 3, a player chooses three numbers from 0 to 9. Sounds easy right? There is a great deal of ways on how you can win in Pick 3 numbers VA. The following are the types of game schemes that you can choose from if you want to play Pick 3:

1. Exact Order. You can win if your combination is the same as the one drawn in exact order. Play Exact Order for $1 for your chance to win $500. For example, your combination is 1-4-3. You will win $500 if the winning numbers are 1-4-3. You do not win anything if 3-4-1 or any other combination is drawn.

2. Any Order. You may also play Any Order wherein if you choose 1-4-3 for $1, you win $80 if the winning combination is 1-3-4, 4-3-1, 3-1-4, 4-1-3, 3-4-1, or 1-4-3. In this game, there are quite a lot of chances you win with your chosen digits unlike Exact Order. However, if out of three numbers you have a pair of numbers which are the same, you will $160 if you choose to play Any Order for $1. The prize is higher because you got slim chances of winning.

3. Pick 3 Pairs. In this one, a player chooses 2 numbers and position on the Pick 3 game slip. A pair costs $1 or 50 cents. The cost for the pairs is called the wager. If your chosen pair is drawn in the exact order and location, you win the prize which is $50 if you paid $1 wager or $25 for 50 cents wager.

In Virginia, they have a new feature that you can add to Pick 3 which is called Boost. Boost puts in 5 sets of Easy Pick (this should be Exact Order) numbers to your usual Pick 3 ticket. This feature can be included to any Pick 3 wager of $0.50 or $1 by means of Pick 3/Boost game slip.

Pick 3 numbers VA or pick 3 drawings are done two times a day and draws are made everyday. If you want to buy a ticket, you have to be wary of the cutoff times. For day drawings, cutoff time is 1:53 p.m. while night drawings' cutoff time is 10:45 p.m. The actual drawings are shown on local TV stations in Virginia or you can also check Virginia Lottery's website for information regarding lottery draws. You may also keep track of the winning numbers to see the trend. However, that is not a hint of what figures will be drawn.
