That's because the lotto game officially became Lotto South today.
It's a multistate venture with Kentucky and Georgia designed to produce bigger payoffs for players.
For example, the base jackpot now starts at two million dollars rather than one million for Lotto Virginia.
The state created Lotto South because Lotto Virginia sales have fallen short of expectations.
Tickets for the new game went on sale today, the first drawing is Wednesday.

(( The horror this time began just after 11:00 last night. Sacramento Police, responding to reports of gunshots, found two female security guards, employees of Burns Security, shot to death at an equipment yard. Later, at a nearby marina, they found two men dead of gunshot wounds ... one also a Burns Security guard.
Police believe the mass murderer is 20 year old Joseph Ferguson, a former Burns Security guard himself, reportedly enraged after being suspended from his job last week. Sgt. Daniel Hahn, Sacramento Police Dept.THIS PERSON STOLE A NEXTEL PHONE FROM ONE OF THE VICTIMS AND WAS THREATENING ADDITIONAL BURNS SECURITY EMPLOYEES AND ALSO THREATENING TO GO DOWNTOWN, HE THREATENED TO COME DOWNTOWN AND SHOOT AT PEOPLE AS THEY WERE LEAVING THE CLUBS IN OLD SACRAMENTO.
This is the second time in a month that Sacramento has been on edge and on alert, looking for a mass killer. Ten days ago, Nikolay Soltys was arrested after a massive manhunt for allegedly slashing to death his pregnant wife, his three year old son and four other relatives.
After allegedly gunning down four victims last night, Ferguson went to the nearby zoo, where he handcuffed another Burns security guard and fled in her car. He reportedly told her he planned to outdo the Soltys killing spree. Kevin Gowan is cousin to the guard whose life was spared.
Kevin Gowan/ I FEEL FOR THE OTHER PEOPLE. THEY NEED TO CATCH THIS GUY.
But still tonight, the people of Sacramento are shaken and frightened that yet another armed and dangerous mass killer is on the loose. BW, CBSN, LA. ))

But in the next frame, Salem's Greg Catalanotte would even things up with a drive to the wall in the left center field. Scott Seal wasn't running on the pitch, but he was scooting after the hit. Watch him beat the throw to the plate. It's 1-all after 2 innings. The Blue Rocks got what turned out to be the eventual game winning run in the top of the 3rd as Norris Hopper, who went three for four on the night drive in Corey Hart to with outs in the innings to make it 2-to-1. Defense would then take over for both teams. First watch Marco Cunningham in right field rob Javier Colina with the diving catch in the gap. But that was nothing compared to the four defensive gems turned in at third base by Salem's Seth Taylor. The Florida native did his best to keep it a one run game. ((SETH TAYLOR/AVALANCHE THIRD BASEMAN:))
But Hart would break the hearts of the Avalanche faithful again in the 7th with a solo homer to right to make it a 3-to-1 game.
