The WFL game is a disgrace. VA did offer a cash option, but it was withdrawn in May 2007. WFL needs to be retired, or at least drop KY (the only WFL participant that is part of MUSL; best known for Powerball); KY should then join MUSL's smaller jackpot game Hot Lotto, which has grown to 13 members, including VA's neighbors West Virginia and D.C.. Not only does Hot Lotto have a cash option; HL also has the "Sizzler" tripler (similar to Powerball's PowerPlay.) Meanwhile, VA and GA should heave-ho WFL and go back to a multi-jurisdictional jackpot game, but include other Mega Millions members (i.e. Michigan and Ohio had been considering a "joint" game)-how about a "Mega Millions"-group version of Hot Lotto? KY is considering joining HL in its 2009 FY. 216.179.123.111 (talk) 14:38, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Pick 3/4/5 deletion
Why were the details of Virginia's Pick 3/Pick 4/Pick 5 games deleted, and continue to be deleted? Among other things, they are VIRGINIA-only games. VA Pick 5 is unique in itself; it should also be desribed, with a link to the Fantasy 5 page. 207.210.134.83 (talk) 18:30, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * And AGAIN the P3-4-5 sections were deleted! BTW I also found out today that GA, KY, and VA are expected to begin a joint game on January 30, 2011, that would give winners a choice of $250,000 per year for 30 years, or a $4 million cash option. 207.210.134.83 (talk) 21:59, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Good article? Where is history?
This can't be a "good" article when it doesn't mention a historical event which made the Virgina Lottery world-famous in 1992.

See "Group Invests $5 Million To Hedge Bets in Lottery", NY Times, February 25, 1992, and "Syndicate’s First Lotto Cheque Is In The Mail", The Age (Melbourne), by Elizabeth Minter, March 12, 1992

I'm surprised there isn't an article entirely about that incident. For the purposes of this article, what was the exact game that was offered in 1992 and how is it different now?

The article Lottery Wheeling is confusing and can't be found by many logical search terms. It also doesn't mention the Va lottery 1992 incident. 165.121.80.3 (talk) 04:51, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
