The clock is ticking toward the largest second-chance prize in NCEL history: $3 million. Non-winning Holiday Millions tickets must be entered here in the Lucke-Zone by 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, March 31 for a chance to win.
So far, more than 266,330 entries have been made. The odds of winning the $3 million prize depend on the number of eligible entries received before the deadline. The drawing will be held on Wednesday, April 3. The Holiday Millions second chance drawing winner will choose to receive the $3 million prize in annual installments of $150,000 over the next 20 years, or a one-time $1.8 million lump sum payment.
We are often asked how the notification and announcement of drawing winners works. In the case of the $3 million Holiday Millions prize, the lottery will attempt to reach the winner by telephone - making multiple calls if necessary. Remember that the NCEL will never ask for your bank information on the phone, and will always invite the winner to call us back here at headquarters so that he or she can confirm that the call is legit. If phone attempts are unsuccessful, the lottery would then send a certified letter.
Once the winner has been reached successfully, the winner page here in the Lucke-Zone will state that the winner has been notified. The announcement of the winner's name, however, could still be days away at that point. Why? Because the winner must first complete the claim process here at NCEL headquarters. We understand there will be significant interest in the result of the drawing, so we hope this info helps explain the timetable.
Best of luck, and remember to enter your non-winning Holiday Millions tickets before 11:59 p.m. on March 31.

Out of curiousity, what number shows up on the caller ID when the lottery calls to inform you of a win?
Oh, well I did not win, so to the winner " Well Played and Congrates"! I had 1257 enter and still did not win, but I learned about the odds. I am still smiling and God is still the head in my life.
How will the drawing be done by random. Or pulled out of a lottery bowl.
I think the only question is, what time of the day is the drawing on the 3 April?
as you enter drwaings and you notify winners when will you take that draw off the page it getting crowded.
after you have a winner no need to keep that drwaing on the page
If I don't win I hope it goes to a well deserved person. It would be a dream come true for me and family, so let's do this. Good luck too all of us!
Every one has a bad event in there lifes, but I have wait for this at the beginning of this game starting and will see it out to the end. This is mine to win and I will wait by the phone. My dad is bed ridden so I can go any where any way.LOL
Well, I care for my father and would get him the best care afer his stroke- and get to work on home repairs, help pay bills for some family members, and sell my home for a new one for us. I can not wait for me to win. Let do this- call me now.lol
