Vermont Lottery Games

Founded in 1977, the first Vermont Lottery draw took place in February the following year. Today, the Vermont Lottery offers a wide range of multi-jurisdictional and statewide games, including multiple chances to win significant sums of cash every day.

Since July 1998, proceeds from the Vermont Lottery have been exclusively distributed to the state Education Fund, having previously been paid into the state General Fund.

Powerball

Powerball is a world-famous lottery renowned for its long odds and often lucrative jackpots.

Powerball tickets cost $2.00, with players choosing five numbers between 1 and 69 plus a Powerball number between 1 and 26. Players can choose their numbers manually or go for a Quick Pick. A Power Play option is also available, costing $1.00 for the chance to multiply non-jackpot prizes by up to 10 times.

For an additional $1.00, players can add Double Play to their ticket using the same set of chosen numbers, for an additional draw with a $10 million jackpot.

Mega Millions

Mega Millions is another world-renowned lottery that’s even harder to win than Powerball, but with a very similar format.

As with Powerball, tickets cost $2.00.

Players must choose five numbers between 1 and 70 and a Mega Ball number between 1 and 25, with Quick Pick also available for random selections. Mega Millions has an additional Megaplier feature for $1.00, for the chance to boost non-jackpot prizes by up to 10 times.

Lucky for Life

Lucky for Life is a popular lottery game played across 23 states and the District of Columbia, giving players the chance to win $1,000 a day (paid out as $365,000 annually) for the rest of their lives, or the option to take home a lump sum of $5.75 million.

Tickets cost $2.00, with players choosing five main numbers from 1 to 48 and a Lucky Ball number between 1 and 18. A Quick Pick option is available for random selections.

Alternatively, players can bet on matching the front, middle or back pairs of numbers, or can bet on matching a single digit out of four.

Pick 3

Pick 3 has multiple entry options, with stakes available in increments of $0.50, ranging from $0.50 to $5.00.

Players must choose three numbers from 0 to 9, and because each number is chosen independently, the same number can be chosen repeatedly if desired. Participants then choose whether to bet on matching numbers in the order drawn or in any order.
