About Virginia Cash 5

The jackpot starts at $200,000 and grows at least $5,000 a draw. Between July and September 2026 it was won four times, for $220,000 to about $698,000.
What Virginia Cash 5 wheels cost
Each of these wheels guarantees a three-number match ($5) whenever at least three of the winning numbers are among the ones you mark. The more numbers you mark, the more often that happens, and the more tickets it takes.
| Numbers you mark | Tickets | Cost per draw | Cost per week | How often the guarantee comes into play |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 of 45 | 8 | $8 | $56 | 1 in 31 draws, about once every 4 weeks |
| 10 of 45 | 17 | $17 | $119 | 1 in 15 draws, about once every 2 weeks |
| 12 of 45 | 29 | $29 | $203 | 1 in 9.2 draws, about once a week or more |
| 15 of 45 | 55 | $55 | $385 | 1 in 5.1 draws, about once a week or more |
| 18 of 45 | 94 | $94 | $658 | 1 in 3.2 draws, about once a week or more |
The cost per week covers all 7 draws a week. The tool above also has cheaper wheels with weaker guarantees, and bigger ones that guarantee four or five numbers.

Can a wheel improve your odds?
No. Each line still has the same 1 in 1,221,759 chance at the top prize and returns about $0.15 in other prizes on average, however you choose its numbers. What a wheel changes is how your wins are grouped: random tickets can all miss even when the draw lands on your numbers, and a wheel makes sure at least one ticket catches them.

Questions
How many numbers should I mark?
As many as your budget allows. In Virginia Cash 5, going from 8 to 18 numbers takes the cost from $8 to $94 a draw, and the three-number guarantee from 1 in 31 draws to 1 in 3.2. Lottery pools can afford the bigger wheels, which is where wheels make the most sense.
Can I print my tickets onto a playslip?
No. Virginia's rules require paper playslips to be marked by hand; the only exception is a digital playslip made in the official Virginia Lottery app, which the retailer scans as a QR code. Copy the lines from our printout onto a slip, or enter them in the app.
Can I play Cash 5 online?
Yes, on the Virginia Lottery's own website and app, while you're in Virginia. Courier services aren't allowed in Virginia.
