NEW LOTTERY GAME TO PAY UP TO $2,000

"Double Feature," a new Virginia lottery instant ruboff game with prizes up to $2,000 will start April 12.

In the new game, players who match three numbers on a $1 ticket would get that amount.

Also, the State Lottery Department said, players who get two numbers and a movie ticket symbol would win double the cash amounts.

Thus, two $50 amounts and a movie ticket would mean $100 in winnings.

Overall odds are 1 in 4, but the odds on winning $2,000 are 1 in slightly more than 482,8981.
