The real winner: K-12 education in Virginia

Sales of Mega Millions tickets in Virginia as the jackpot grew to a record amount generated an estimated $31.1 million in profits.

Under Virginia law, all of those profits go to K-12 education in the Commonwealth.

In Fiscal Year 2022, the Lottery raised more than $779 million for K-12 education, making up approximately 10 percent of Virginia’s total K-12 school budget.
