The Virginia Lottery has launched four "7s" scratch-offs on sale, priced at $1, $5, $10, and $20, respectively. According to the lottery's game listings they are Bronze 7s, Silver 7s, Gold 7s and Platinum 7s, numbers #2419 through #2422, dated September 1.
The "7" theme runs into the prize amounts. Top prizes are $2,777 on the $1 ticket, $177,777 on the $5 and $577,777 on the $10, before the $20 breaks the pattern at a round $2 million.
The top two games in Virginia are both from this launch
| Game | Price | Top prize | Payout | Odds | ValueScore™ | Virginia rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Platinum 7s | $20 | $2,000,000 | 75.5% | 1 in 3.48 | 91.5 | 1st |
| Gold 7s | $10 | $577,777 | 72.9% | 1 in 3.90 | 79.8 | 2nd |
| Silver 7s | $5 | $177,777 | 70.5% | 1 in 4.31 | 71.1 | 7th |
| Bronze 7s | $1 | $2,777 | 63.0% | 1 in 4.52 | 53.3 | 26th |
Platinum 7s enters at 91.5, the highest of the 73 active games we score in Virginia, and Gold 7s sits directly behind it at 79.8. The next game after the pair is Loaded with $2,000s at 77.0, then the $50 SET FOR LIFE at 74.7. Virginia's active games average 70.1% payout and 45.1 on our scale.
All four new games pay at or above the Virginia rate for their price
| Price | This game | Virginia average | National average |
|---|---|---|---|
| $1 | 63.0% | 61.8% | 61.8% |
| $5 | 70.5% | 69.2% | 69.2% |
| $10 | 72.9% | 72.5% | 73.0% |
| $20 | 75.5% | 75.4% | 75.0% |
Virginia's own averages sit within a few tenths of the national figures at each of these prices, so the state is a normal shelf rather than a generous or a stingy one. Against it, Bronze 7s beats the $1 average by 1.2 points, Silver 7s beats the $5 average by 1.3, Gold 7s edges the $10 average by 0.4, and Platinum 7s lands level with the $20 average.
Odds improve steadily up the ladder, from 1 in 4.52 on the $1 to 1 in 3.48 on the $20. The $1 Bronze 7s is the weakest of the four, and its $2,777 top prize is the smallest by a wide margin.
