Exclusive $1 million drawing only two weeks away

In two weeks, on Friday, Oct 24, the N.C. Education Lottery will hold an exclusive $1 million drawing in conjunction with the first MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES’ CLUB™ lottery game drawing.

The special drawing will guarantee that someone who buys a MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES’ CLUB ticket in North Carolina will win $1 million in the first drawing of the new multi-state lottery game. The North Carolina $1 million prize will be in addition to any other prizes won in the new game during its first drawing.

The new multi-state draw game has the potential to create more millionaires at one time than any other lottery game in history when its Top Prize of up to $25 million is won.

Tickets for MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES’ CLUB game go on sale Sunday, Oct. 19, and cost $5. To get an entry in North Carolina’s special $1 million drawing, just buy a ticket during the game’s first week, between the first day of sales on Sunday and the cutoff for the first drawing, 10:15 p.m. on Friday.

We will announce the winning number on Friday, Oct. 24, shortly after the 11:15 p.m. drawing.
 
In the MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES’ CLUB lottery game, a $5 ticket offers three ways for someone to win $1 million or more. Players can:

•    Win the Top Prize, which begins at $15 million and can rise to $25 million.
•    Become one of the many, randomly-selected $1 million winners when another player wins the Top Prize.
•    Register a ticket online where they will build MONOPOLY Property Sets to earn entries into a drawing for a chance to appear on the nationally televised game show beginning in early 2015. The show will have more than $2.5 million in available prize money on each episode.

When that Top Prize is won, a second drawing is triggered to award all the available $1 million prizes – anywhere from a minimum of 10 up to hundreds of $1 million winners simultaneously. The number of $1 million prizes grows every week the Top Prize is not won. Drawings will be held each Friday at 11:15 p.m. Odds of winning the game’s Top Prize will be 1 in 73 million.

To kick things off in a big way, we decided to hold the special one-time-only drawing to guarantee that someone who buys a ticket in North Carolina during those first six days will win $1 million. Good luck.

If you have multiple numbers registered for the balance of funds ($215,000) in the Monopoly drawing, can you win more than one prize if you have two or more numbers drawn? NC Lottery
You can only win one prize in the drawing. Best of luck!

It appears that someone won the Nov. 7th top prize. The number of Millionaire Club prizes was 14. I didn't see where the 14 winners were announced. The top prize was reset and the Millionaires Club was reset to 10. Did I miss the winners announcement?NC Lottery
Thanks for the question! Since MMC is a national game, the info we communicate about the game is focused on N.C. winners. But you can check out playmmc.com for more info about where the 14 prizes of $1 million were won in that drawing :)

I have a question .. If I buy a Monopoly ticket this week, and the top prize is not won. In this case, should I keep the ticket for the Millionaires Club draw?NC Lottery
We know there is a lot to learn about this new game! A Millionaires' Club drawing is ONLY held when the Top Prize is won... so, if the Top Prize isn't won, the Millionaires' Club number isn't a factor that week. The next step would be to enter your ticket here in the Lucke-Zone to add to your Property Collections to earn entries into the Vegas drawing.

WITH THE HOT 5 SCRATCHERS WHEN YOU ENTER THE TICKET IT STILL SAYS YOUR ENTERD IN THR 2ND CHANCE DRAWING IS THEIR STILL ONE OR JUST SAYS IT ANYWAY.NC Lottery
Would you please submit your experience to the technical support team by clicking the HELP link and filling out an ONLINE SUPPORT form? The communication team that answers questions on the blog has not heard about that being an issue.

For the count down for the Monopoly Millionaire, will you have fireworks at the end!!!! The time is getting near and the countdown will be soon!!

10/15/2014 04:10 - Kristen L.

Its computerized..like All or Nothing...so its a low grade game?NC Lottery
Not at all, many lotteries across the country use random number generators for drawings, some for their daily draw games. As time goes on, you'll see more use of them :-)

I thought the lottery was a customer based industry. you provide a service to the public. The public wants A STATE LOTTERY. All these games are complicated and waste of time. All or nothing is a waste of time and as time goes on you will see it is really NOTHING. CREATE A STATE LOTTERYNC Lottery
We appreciate our customers very much! If we understand you correctly, you are interested in seeing a six-number state lotto game. As a relatively young lottery, that isn't something there are plans to add right now. But you never know in the future! In the meantime, we hope some of our games are ones you enjoy.

Thank you NCEL for explaining the Monopoly millionaires club draw game.I'm looking forward to playing and winning.

10/12/2014 11:44 - Janet M.

If I win, I'm buying my daughter a house. She is a teacher and single parent.

So,a new scratch off that will create more millionares in NC,would be nice to see some in areas other than Raleigh,Charlotte and the eastern part of the state.But that would require random placement of tickets instead of strategic placement. NC Lottery
Sorry if we confused you. MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES' CLUB is a draw game with a weekly drawings on Friday when the winning numbers will be picked. It is also a multi-state game with 23 state lotteries when it begins on Sunday, Oct. 19, and more joining in the spring. The first drawing is Friday, Oct. 24.Good luck.

10/12/2014 07:43 - Betty K.

Is the monopoly game a scratch ticket or is it like cash 5 or Mega million. I'm a little confused. NC Lottery
No problem. It's a new multi-state draw game like Mega Millions, but with different features. You will choose five numbers from a pool of 52, either picking your own or doing a Quick Pick. The lottery terminal will automatically assign an additional number from 1 to 28, and this number corresponds to a Property on the MONOPOLY game board. Top Prize begins at $15 million and grows to $25 million. When Top Prize is won, a second drawing is held to award $1 million prizes. And you can win a trip to a TV show in the spring. Good luck if you try it.[/reply ]

"Odds of winning the game’s Top Prize will be 1 in 73 million." At $5 a ticket?! Too expensive for me! Sounds too much like Powerball and Megamillions. Plus, it sounds like no one gets a million UNLESS the top prize is won by someone. Even then, they're randomly selected tickets. Odds of Cash 5 are SO much better. I mean, a million dollars would be nice, but I can do a lot of good things with $50,000, too!

10/12/2014 02:37 - Edward s K.

I have never won any thing,I to would like to win it but if some one else win it I will be glad for him or her that win it thank god I don't have much but my family and my savor jesus Christ. good luck to all.

10/12/2014 11:59 - robert s.

like the old saying goes you gotta be in it to win it weeeeeee

10/12/2014 10:54 - stephane d.

Quick question, why haven't you guys just create a state lottery. Five to six numbers, start at 250k and let it grow until someone hit. The monopoly is fine but it is 5.00 then you have to jump through all these hoops to win. NC Lottery
Great question! We do have Carolina Cash 5 and All or Nothing, which are just for North Carolinians. But we're always looking for new games to add!

10/12/2014 10:16 - Barbara C.

Is the new monopoly millionaires game only in NC NC Lottery
It's a national game, similar to Mega Millions and Powerball. The main difference is people are playing those games for a huge jackpot, but this game is going to spread the wealth and make multiple millionaires all over the nation.

10/12/2014 10:12 - DORIS A.

I claim this in jesus na Good luck and i pray i win

10/12/2014 07:56 - James M.

10/11/2014 11:55 - Anita G.

Lost the love of my life and husband of 42 years last October and my income has been cut in half now that he's gone. So I can definitely use a little luck to win some cash with this new game. If my chances are better to win with the new Monopoly, I'll probably stop playing the Power and Megaball and happily share winnings with others because I'm not greedy.

10/11/2014 07:36 - evelyn h.

Would be wonderful to win or for someone else from this great State to walk away a winner!

10/11/2014 07:12 - Sontia B.

I Want To Know Will There Be Small Prizes Like The Powerball.. NC Lottery
Absolutely! There are nine other prizes up to $100,000 and 1 in 10 overall odds of winning.

10/11/2014 12:40 - Lucia B.

it is my 1 million dollars!

10/10/2014 11:01 - Ayonna L.

I pray that i could be the blessed soul to win for my family. I don't really have a lot of friends but my life goal is to help others like the old and the young when their families give up on them. Whoever wins i hope that you look deep within and find good ways to help others as well because you cant take it with you but people will always remember what you did for them and how you made them. Best of luck to Everyone!'We Are Blessed!

10/10/2014 09:48 - Crystal M.

I am looking forward the new game. It will give my something to play on Friday's other than the Mega Millions. I am praying that too that I can win a million. That would be awesome! Woo hoo! Believe n Receive!

10/10/2014 08:58 - Betty K.

I'm hoping my family win.It will be awesome.

10/10/2014 08:09 - Kim C.

I am SOOOO looking forward to this game....hope it's lucky for me!! I like that chances are high that it will a NC winner that first week. Going to be disappointed but NOT shocked if that first winner is just someone passing thru NC and not a resident. Lets ALL keep our fingers crossed that doesn't happen. Good luck everyone!! : P

10/10/2014 07:49 - Hazel M.
