RICHMOND, Va. (WAVY) — After 23 days of launching an online platform, the Virginia Lottery hit a major milestone of $20 million in prizes won by players.

The initiative launched on July 1, and since then, 4.3 million individual wins have occurred among nearly 30,000 unique players.

One of the prizes was $25,000 won by an Arlington man who was playing Blackjack Doubler on July 12.

The online games include Mega Millions, Powerball, and Cash4Life®, as well as all-new instant win games that offer prizes up to $500,000.
