(WAVY) — The Virginia Lottery is reminding players to verify their contact information following a new state law that will allow lottery winners to remain anonymous.
Beginning July 1, the Virginia Lottery will no longer publish the names of Lottery Rewards or second-chance prize winners on its website. Instead, winners will be notified by email after drawings.
Lottery officials are encouraging players to log into their accounts and confirm their email address and phone number to avoid missing a winning notification.
According to an email sent out to Virginia Lottery players, “If you don’t, there’s a chance you might win but won’t get the notification because we sent it to an old email address!”
If you want to verify the authenticity of any email sent by the Virginia Lottery, contact them at (804) 692-7777.
