The Virginia Lottery’s latest New Year’s Millionaire Raffle for 2022 has concluded, with a fresh group of lucky winners.
The annual raffle occurred on Saturday, Jan. 1, just like previous years, with all raffle tickets selling out well in advance of the drawing date.
A total of 510 winners of the 2022 raffle were able to claim a prize worth $500 or more in the widely-known drawing.
Nevertheless, the $500 prizes were far less significant when compared to the game’s most substantial earnings.
2022 raffle winners reside all over Virginia
Winners hailing from various regions of Virginia emerged from the New Year’s Millionaire Raffle.
Just a quick reminder, the following prizes were available for you to win:
- $1 million: 4 winners
- $100,000: 6 winners

Last year, Virginia Beach in the Hampton Roads region celebrated two of its own as winners of the $1 million raffle prize.
In the current year, Lady Luck generously spread her blessings across Virginia, extending her good fortune to winners hailing from various regions. While Hampton Roads continued to produce multiple winners, the northern and western areas of the state also had their fair share of success.
