Virginia Lottery Green is a $5 scratch-off that has been on the market for 88 weeks. The ROI is -36.4%, so this one is best played for entertainment rather than value. Each ticket returns an expected $3.18 in prize value. Only 1 of the original 3 top prizes remains — act fast if you're chasing the big one. Top prize odds have improved by 60.0% since launch — a dramatic shift in your favor. Among the 21 active $5 games in Virginia, Virginia Lottery Green ranks #19 by expected value.

Alternative Strategy

Instead of buying one Virginia Lottery Green ($5) ticket, consider buying 2x SHAMROCK 7S ($2) + 1x Blackjack ($1). This combination delivers $3.19 in expected value compared to $3.18 for the single ticket — a 0.2% improvement. It also gives you a 54.7% chance of winning at least one prize versus 21.7% with the single ticket. Play responsibly — lottery games are for entertainment.
