Most Popular Vermont Lottery Games


Powerball

Powerball is a popular choice among Vermont players due to its huge, life-changing jackpots. Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, and players select five main numbers plus a Powerball number. With jackpots regularly climbing into the hundreds of millions, Powerball is a favorite for its big prize potential.

Gimme 5

Gimme 5 is a multi-state game shared by Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine, with drawings Monday through Friday. Players choose five numbers, with a top prize of $100,000. This regional game offers Vermont players appealing odds and a solid prize for matching all numbers.

Pick 3 and Pick 4

Vermont’s Pick 3 and Pick 4 games offer daily drawings with multiple ways to play and win smaller but more frequent prizes. Pick 3 involves selecting a three-digit number, while Pick 4 requires choosing a four-digit number. These games are ideal for players looking for simpler, everyday lottery options.

Mega Millions

Similar to Powerball, Mega Millions offers another opportunity for large jackpots, with draws every Tuesday and Friday. Vermont players choose five numbers plus a Mega Ball number, aiming for jackpots that often exceed $100 million. It’s a popular option for those seeking major prize opportunities.

Lucky for Life

Lucky for Life gives players the chance to win $1,000 a day for life with daily drawings. Players choose five numbers plus one “Lucky Ball” number, and if all numbers match, they win the top prize, making it a popular choice among players hoping for long-term financial security.

Instant Tickets (Scratchers)

Vermont Lottery’s instant tickets are widely popular, featuring a variety of themes and ticket prices. These scratch-off games offer immediate wins, with top prizes that vary by ticket, appealing to those who enjoy instant results and a range of prize levels.


Vermont Lottery Games With The Best Odds

Some Vermont Lottery games offer more favorable odds than others, making them popular among players who value frequent wins. Pick 3 and Pick 4 have good odds due to their limited number pools, allowing for frequent smaller prizes. For bigger prizes, Gimme 5 provides better odds than national games, with a $100,000 top prize and five weekly drawings. Additionally, many scratch-off tickets offer relatively favorable odds for winning smaller prizes, especially at higher ticket price points, making them appealing for players seeking a balance between odds and prize size.
