Drawings took place at the WTVR-TV studios in Richmond, Virginia, on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 11:00 p.m.
Jackpots began at $2 million (annuitized); top-prize winners could choose to be paid either in 30 annual payments, or the cash option.
The game had four prize levels; players needed to match at least three numbers to win.
In January 2006, it was announced that the game would be retired; its final drawing took place on February 25, 2006.
Decades of Dollars became a Virginia-only game in October 2014, as the other three lotteries were part of the launch of Monopoly Millionaires' Club.
