== Pick 3/4/5 deletion ==
 
Why were the details of Virginia's Pick 3/Pick 4/Pick 5 games deleted, and continue to be deleted? Among other things, they are VIRGINIA-only games. VA Pick 5 is unique in itself; it should also be desribed, with a link to the [[Fantasy 5]] page.

:And AGAIN the P3-4-5 sections were deleted! BTW I also found out today that GA, KY, and VA are expected to begin a joint game on January 30, 2011, that would give winners a choice of $250,000 per year for 30 years, or a $4 million cash option.

== Good article? Where is history? ==
 
This can't be a "good" article when it doesn't mention a historical event which made the Virgina Lottery world-famous in 1992.
 
See "Group Invests $5 Million To Hedge Bets in Lottery", ''NY Times'', February 25, 1992, and "Syndicate’s First Lotto Cheque Is In The Mail", ''The Age'' (Melbourne), by Elizabeth Minter, March 12, 1992
 
I'm surprised there isn't an article entirely about that incident. For the purposes of this article, what was the exact game that was offered in 1992 and how is it different now?
 
The article [[Lottery Wheeling]] is confusing and can't be found by many logical search terms. It also doesn't mention the Va lottery 1992 incident.

== GA concerns ==
 
I am concerned that this article no longer meets the [[WP:GA?|good article criteria]] because it contains numerous uncited statements, including entire paragraphs. Is anyone interested in fixing up this article, or should it go to [[WP:GAR]]? [[User:Z1720|Z1720]] ([[User talk:Z1720|talk]]) 08:14, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
