During fiscal year 2024, the Virginia Lottery reported total sales of more than $5.5 billion.

The lottery sells many of its products through convenience stores and other in-person locations.

We mapped 190 lottery retailers in the city based on their sales during the past fiscal year. The No. 1 retailer was Quick N. Easy, in the Near West End at 4115 W. Broad Street. The shop sold about $2.5 million in lottery tickets.

Circles represent lottery retail locations and are sized based on net sales:

In 2020, retailers were given a 5% sales commission rate on tickets sold, in addition to a 1% bonus on the cash value of winning tickets redeemed.

The Lottery reported in 2020 that outlets selling lottery tickets average "nearly $23,500" in compensation.

Virginia allows the purchase of lottery tickets by cash and debit card, but not credit card.
