Virgin Islands Lottery

For the past 80 years the VI Lottery has been an integral part of social fabric of the Virgin Islands community. It was established in 1937 and from its inception it has been a staple providing relief, employment, and for many a means of extra income for thousands of lucky players. Through the years the Lottery has experienced significant growth and development and has increased its portfolio of games as a value-added measure and as a means of increasing player satisfaction. As a result, the agency has become much more visible and viable and is now a contributor par-excellence to the economy of the Virgin Islands, generating more than 17 million annually. In fact, the VI Lottery agency is among the top revenue producers for the treasury of the territory. Annually, the VI Lottery (VIL) contributes an average of: $1.5 million to the Public Schools, $1 million to the GERS Retirees Bonus Program, 1.5 million to the Pharmaceutical Assistance Program, $100,000.00 to the office of Veterans Affairs, $250,000.00 to the Horse Race Commission.
