Prospector's Gold

Prospector’s Gold is being highlighted by the Virginia Lottery as the Powerball jackpot reaches a staggering quarter of a billion dollars on Wednesday.

By purchasing a minimum of $10 worth of Powerball tickets, you will receive a bonus of 10 free plays for the online instant game.

The Prospector’s Gold promo is guaranteed to capture the attention of VA Lotto players for the upcoming Powerball drawing on Wednesday, Aug. 11. With a staggering jackpot exceeding $240 million, it’s likely that people already had their sights set on it.

However, I will provide you with all the information you need to know about this VA Lottery promotion.

Buy Powerball, get Prospector’s Gold

The Powerball draws occur on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 10:59 p.m., and soon there will be Monday drawings as well. The chances of winning the Powerball jackpot are approximately 1 in 292 million. Although the multi-state draw game is highly popular, the jackpots are not won frequently due to the extremely low odds.

The last time someone won the jackpot was on June 5th, when a player from Florida matched all five white balls and the Powerball, taking home a whopping $285.6 million. Since then, the jackpot has reset to $20 million and has been steadily growing over the past two months.

As of Wednesday morning, the August 11 Powerball drawing had accumulated a grand total of $241 million.

On the Virginia Lottery website, Powerball tickets are available for purchase. With a single Virginia Lottery purchase, you can buy up to five tickets for each of the next four drawings.

Will you strike it big with Prospector’s Gold?

One of the Virginia Lottery’s numerous online instant games is Prospector’s Gold.

On the other hand, this particular one adds to the recently unveiled Big Money Jackpots. Among these three online progressive jackpots is a Jumbo Jackpot, currently valued at over $69,000 as of Wednesday morning.

Introducing the official game description of Prospector’s Gold:

In order to win a prize, simply create a group of three or more identical symbols. If you manage to form multiple groups in a single round, your prize will be multiplied. Discover three symbols of the Big Money Jackpots to increase your chances of winning one of the three grand prizes: Express, Great, or Jumbo.

Prospector’s Gold offers gameplay options ranging from 50 cents per play up to $20, excluding bonus games.

While you’re there, don’t forget to explore Cash Buster Multiplier, another exciting instant win game in the Big Money Jackpots collection.

Don’t forget about Mega Millions

Don’t overlook the Mega Millions drawing while purchasing Virginia Lottery tickets online.

Similar to Power Ball, the Mega Millions jackpot has also experienced a significant increase in recent months. The grand prize has remained untouched since a fortunate player from Illinois won a staggering $56 million on June 8.

As of Wednesday morning, the jackpot for the Mega Millions drawing on Friday, August 13th, has soared to $225 million.

Similar to Power Ball, the chances of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are incredibly slim, with odds of 1 in 302.6 million.
