The graph above compares payouts for the two payment options available with The Big Game or Lotto Virginia. Numbers are estimates. Figures will vary, depending on the actual size of the Lotto jackpot prize pool. The jackpot prize pool is the amount of money available to the Virginia Lottery to invest in U.S. Treasury Bonds over a 26 year period to arrive at the final jackpot amount. The jackpot prize pool is roughly HALF of the estimated advertised jackpot.
