A lot of West Virginia Lottery players don't realise there's a free rewards program running alongside the tickets they buy. PlayON is the WV Lottery's loyalty program, and if you have an iPLAY account, you're already enrolled. No separate sign-up, no extra steps. The question is whether you're actually making the most of it.
For a clear look at what's available WV Lottery promotions covers current offers and how PlayON fits in.
How points work
Points are earned on eligible ticket purchases — both in-store and online. Buy draw game tickets or iNSTANTS through iPLAY and points are added automatically. Playing in-store? Scan your scratch-off and draw based game tickets through the official WVL app, and they count too. Every eligible ticket earns points regardless of whether it wins, so it's worth scanning everything.
Apple users can download the official app through the App Store, and Android users need to visit the West Virginia Lottery’s website for access.
Your PlayON dashboard then tracks your running points balance and flags any bonus opportunities tied to your account.
Scanning in-store tickets unlocks more than points
Players who primarily buy tickets at retail locations sometimes assume PlayON isn't relevant to them. But scanning physical scratch-off and draw based game tickets through the iPLAY app connects your in-store play directly to your rewards account. It also gives you a digital record of your tickets, lets you check results without queuing at the counter, and flags any prizes due on your account. For regular in-store players, it's one of the more useful reasons to have the app set up.
Second chance drawings
One of the more practical uses of PlayON points is entering second chance drawings. These give eligible winning and non-winning tickets another shot at prizes. To enter, log into your iPLAY account, go to the PlayON second chance section, and scan or manually enter your ticket. You're automatically entered into the corresponding promotion.
It's a straightforward way to get more out of tickets that would otherwise go straight in the trash.
Promotions and bonus offers
Beyond second chance drawings, PlayON distributes exclusive promotion codes, bonus credits, and custom offers through account notifications and emails. These aren't just tied to big seasonal moments — offers run throughout the year. Turning on app notifications and opting into email communications from the Lottery is the easiest way to stay across what's live.
If you haven't registered yet
New players tend to find active offers waiting when they first sign up. Past welcome offers have included free credits for iNSTANTS games and bonus PlayON points. These show up in your account, on promotional banners, or on the iPLAY offers page once you're registered.
To be eligible for PlayON promotions and iPLAY offers, you need a verified WV Lottery account, you must be 18 or older, and you must be physically located within West Virginia at the time of play.
It's a free program running in the background of play you're already doing, so check your account to see what points you have – or to start earning them.
