The last week of the Green Ball Bonus Draw promotion began Sunday with the Green Ball being drawn for the fourth time. All six white balls had already been drawn so Pick 3 players were guaranteed a boost to their winnings if their numbers came up in the evening drawing.

The numbers4-4-1 combined with the Green Ball to boost the payout to winners. Pick 3 players with 882 tickets won a total of $161,335. Depending on the play type and wager selected, matching all three numbers is normally worth between $40 and $500. But since the Green Ball was chosen, winning combinations are worth between $48 and $598.

All six white balls go back into the mix with the Green Ball for tonight’s bonus drawing. The promotion ends Saturday with the evening Pick 3 drawing. How many more times will the Green Ball be drawn?

I think it is strictly monitored by a certain body in the state of NC.

@ DAVIDKEITH - All of the lottery's practices are reviewed by external auditors on a regular basis. All drawings are monitored by either an internal auditor, an external auditor or both; all are recorded for security purposes. The drawings are always conducted using a random number generator, according to specific security procedures, to ensure that drawings are fair to every player who has entered.

Are these lucke zone drawing monitored by an independent individual not with the ncel, just wondering. I have been quite vocal on here,my chances are not good if not audited.

@ YVONNE - Everyone in the state has the same chance of winning a prize no matter where you live or play. If you were to stand watch at two different retailers, one that sells 1,000 tickets a day, and one that sells 10 tickets a day... you might be more likely to see a winning ticket sold at the place that sells 100x more tickets... but that doesn't make that store luckier. There are just more chances being taken. Players in Morehead City have no better or worse chance to win than players anywhere else. Good luck to you!

good comment by engie said, the only other thing I want to ask is that "do youall know there is a place called morehead city in North Carolina, we play as a rule a lot, but never seem to win enough to make a difference or our name mentioned. I spend a lot of money in the mega millions, but break even. Do you know we are here?

how do you notify winners? I've noticed that some winners are indicated as still marked "to be notified" from some time ago... also how can i find in yr archives scratch off ticket winners by county?

you would not believe the numbers that come up with pick3 and pick4 on the weekends. very strange to say the least!

@ DCLIASON - Our Communications Team didn't even notice that until someone mentioned it on Facebook. Random drawings produce interesting results sometimes!

You forgot to mention that 441 was drawn 7 days ago on Sunday July 15th. Back to back green balls, both on Sunday and with the exact combination drawn again. Now that's really strange isn't it?
