RICHMOND, VA - Many of you know and appreciate at least one dedicated Virginia public school teacher who consistently goes the extra mile each day to serve their students and their communities. The Virginia Lottery, the Virginia PTA, and The Supply Room Companies also recognize that Virginia is brimming with these outstanding teachers.
These three organizations have partnered for the third year in a row to bring you the “Virginia Lottery Super Teacher Awards.”
Through this program, the Virginia Lottery will pay tribute to those educators who put smiles on their students' faces and who are shaping their futures. The Virginia Lottery will recognize eight teachers across the Commonwealth as “Super Teachers.” Each winning teacher will receive a $2,000 credit from the Supply Room Companies to outfit their classroom as well as a $2,000 prize from the Virginia Lottery.

About the Virginia Lottery
Nearly 95 cents of each dollar spent on the Virginia Lottery by players goes back to the Commonwealth in the form of contributions to education, prizes and retailer commissions. Since 1999, all Virginia Lottery profits have been designated solely to K-12 public school education in the Commonwealth. In that time, the Lottery has turned over more than $4 billion for Virginia's public schools. The latest annual profits of $439.1 million currently represent about 7 percent of state funding for public education in Virginia. In 21 years, the Lottery has sold more than $21.1 billion in tickets, awarded more than $1.1 billion in retailer commissions and paid more than $11.6 billion in prizes to players.
