I am not able to enter my tickets. When I click on "ENTER TICKETS," I am transferred back to the login page. Why is this happening?

To enter a Virginia Lottery second-chance drawing (on the Internet) you must first be registered. To register, click here and complete the necessary information.

Some firewalls or security settings may prevent you from entering tickets for a second-chance drawing. If you continue to have difficulty, you may want to consult with your Network Administrator or Internet Provider, or check your personal firewall settings.

I receive a message that says the ticket number has already been registered. How can that be if I have the ticket in my possession and what should I do?
First, check your list of previously submitted entries to verify that the ticket has not been previously entered by you. If it has not, please notify the Virginia Lottery. Include the ticket number that you tried to enter, and the Virginia Lottery will investigate further.
May I enter a drawing more than once?
Yes. You may enter a drawing as many times as you wish, using different tickets in each entry. Remember that A player must submit $5 worth of Virginia Lottery Mega Millions and $5 worth of Virginia Lottery Powerball non-winning tickets equaling a combined total of $10 purchased in the same week. Tickets must be purchased during the sweepstakes week of entry. For additional rules, click here.
I have tickets but I can't remember whether I have entered them into the drawing. How can I see which tickets have been entered?
Each time you submit an entry, a record of your entry appears within the Enter Tickets page, just below the area where you submit the entry. All of your entries are on that list so you may check the tickets you are holding.
I am not able to see my ticket numbers after I have entered them. What do I do now?
Once you have completed an entry into the MegaPower Sweepstakes, you will be able to see the tickets that make up the entry at the bottom of the "Enter Tickets" page. If you do not see your entry, either you have not completed the entry requirements ($5 Mega Millions and $5 Powerball) or the entry may have been entered under a different e-mail address.
May I dispose of the tickets after I have entered them into a drawing?
No. If you are selected as a finalist, you will be asked to produce the tickets that match your winning entry in order to claim your prize.
Do you need to be a Virginia resident to enter Virginia Lottery second-chance drawings?
No. There are no restrictions for out-of-state players. Anyone who is eligible to purchase Virginia Lottery tickets is eligible to participate in the second-chance drawings.
When may I discard the tickets I entered?
Although your tickets may not have been originally chosen as a winning entry, your tickets may be selected as an alternate prize-winner. It is recommended that you retain possession of the tickets for six months.
Can I double my chances of winning by entering tickets on the Internet and then mailing them in as an entry?
No. Internet entries are not eligible to be mailed in, and mail-in entries cannot be used as Internet entries.
How do I find out if I have been selected as a winner?

An unofficial list of winners will be posted to the website shortly after each drawing. Winners become official once their age and identification have been verified. The verification process includes confirming that a winner is at least 18 years of age and has won a prize only once for that drawing. To qualify as an official winner, documentation must be completed and returned to the Lottery.

Please keep your non-winning tickets for at least 90 days since we may need to contact alternates up to 90 days after a drawing.

I submitted several entries to the drawing. Why didn't I win?

It's the luck of the random drawing that determines who wins and who doesn't. The Virginia Lottery could receive 200,000 or more entries for the drawing, so your chance of winning still requires a little luck.
