The top 3 games of chance you can play at the West Virginia Lottery

At the West Virginia Lottery, you can play a range of games of chance both online and offline. With advancements in technology and Lotteries dating back to 1984, there are plenty of ways you can try your chances.

Whether you opt to log into your online WV Lottery iPLAY account or purchase tickets for your favorite draw games from your local retailer or Lottery vending machine, there are lots to choose from.

Draw games

Draw games are one of the most recognizable games of chance offered by the West Virginia Lottery. These games involve selecting numbers for a chance to match them against a randomly drawn set. A Random Number Generator (RNG) works behind the scenes, creating unpredictable outcomes every single second.

Popular draw games in West Virginia include POWERBALL©, MEGA MILLIONS®, and Daily 3.

Each game has its own set of rules regarding how many numbers you must choose, as well as the frequency of draws. For example, POWERBALL© and MEGA MILLIONS® are multi-state draws with larger potential payouts, whereas Daily 3 is specific to West Virginia and has daily draws for quicker results.

Draw games are often a popular choice due to their straightforward nature. You can purchase tickets at local retailers or via Lottery vending machines.

When playing, you have the option to choose your own numbers or opt for a ‘quick pick’ where numbers are randomly assigned to you.

Scratch-Offs

Scratch-Off games offer a fast and immediate way to try your chances. Unlike draw games, which require you to wait for results, Scratch-Offs deliver instant outcomes. This form of play is available at local retailers and Lottery vending machines, not online.

If you wish to play games with immediate outcomes online, iNSTANTS are the digital version. They use an RNG to determine random outcomes, much like draw games.

Each land-based Scratch-Off ticket is pre-printed with a concealed set of numbers, symbols, or matching combinations. To reveal the result, you simply scratch off the designated surface to see if you’ve matched the winning symbols or numbers.

Scratch-offs are available at various price points, each with different potential prizes. Generally, tickets that cost more to purchase offer the potential to win larger payouts, but all Scratch-Off tickets operate on a chance-based system, meaning there is no way to predict or influence the outcome, whether you play physical games or iNSTANTS online.

Some tickets may offer multiple ways to win, such as matching numbers and symbols or uncovering bonus icons.

Scratch-Offs and digital iNSTANTS remain popular choices at the West Virginia Lottery, mainly due to their immediacy. There is no waiting for a scheduled draw—once you scratch the surface, you’ll know if you have a matching combination.

With many ways to try your chances at your local retailer, Lottery vending machines and now with an online account at the West Virginia Lottery’s regulated site, playing draw games or Scratch-Offs has never been easier.
