To participate in the Virginia (VA) Lottery, you must be at least 18 years of age or older and physically located within the state of Virginia at the time of purchase. You do not need to be a US citizen or a green card holder to participate in the Virginia Lottery. However, you must be able to provide a valid government-issued ID or passport to claim any prize that you may win.

Both students and H1 visa holders who meet the eligibility criteria are allowed to participate in the Virginia Lottery. However, it is important to note that winning a lottery prize may have tax implications, and it is the responsibility of the winner to comply with all tax laws and regulations.

It’s important to remember that lottery laws and regulations can vary by state and country, so it’s always a good idea to check the specific rules and requirements for the lottery you are interested in playing. You can find more information about the Virginia Lottery, including rules and eligibility criteria, on the official Virginia Lottery website.
