Don't waste your money! The new tickets are a joke!!! I've bought way more than the so called "odds" claim to at least break even. They lie!! I'm done with all of it. The same people always win this stuff and the luckezone drawings. I guess you have to know someone to win. Better yet the only winners I see are the lottery executives and their fat paychecks

I thought there was to be an NC Millionaire with the Monopoly game. the winning club draw is posted. do you know that a ticket was sold with this winning number? and it seems no one has won the jackpot for All or Nothing....odds are too steep for little payout..$1 is plenty NC Lottery
You're right. No top prize won yet in All or Nothing. We would love to see that happen. We kicked off the new MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES' CLUB game with an exclusive one-time $1 million drawing. The winning ticket was sold at the Wilco on N.C. 41 South in Wallace in Duplin County. The winner has 180 days to claim prize.

I'm claiming a win! (positive thinking) so i'v already won :)

Ok Lucke-zone....answer this: I bought one of the Monopoly tickets (quick pick), and it's a $5 winner (had 2 numbers on it). Well...I went to 3 different stores (one in Tabor City, 2 in Calabash), and all 3 said it is a loser! However, I entered the numbers on your website, and it says its a winner! What am I supposed to do, send it in for my $5 check? The merchants scanned the ticket, and I watched, and all 3 times it said "not a winner", but it says it was! The ticket was for the 10/31 draw and the numbers on my ticket were: 07 13 17 29 30 "property # 11". Two of the numbers are worth $5...07 and 17. So help......NC Lottery
Sorry to hear about the frustration; could you call customer service to talk it through? 877-962-7529

Normally I'm positive but I would have to agree! I bought 7 $20 200 million tickets all in a row and lost on every single ticket! Also bought 9 "$" tickets in a row off the same roll and lost!! No winners are being printed, very disappointed!!NC Lottery
Sorry to hear you didn't have better luck on those tickets. If you take a look at the game pages on our website for those games, you'll see that there are lots of prizes out there being won and still up for grabs; sometimes it only takes one ticket to win a prize. Best of luck to you!

Response to the more wins in Myrtle Beach that is true. Im from Rocky Mount and a trip there produced alot of winning scrath offs for me in the 100.00 to 500.00 range. Also a friend said the same when he went. My thinking is all the tickets can't be sent there or can they ?

11/03/2014 05:36 - Victoria W.

I just entered 13 $1 tickets and received 65 points and the 14th $1 ticket gave me 25 points. The 5X times the $1 and $2 dollar tickets are hitting!!! Thanks!!!NC Lottery
Nice! :)

Hey I hope the Five New “Bucks” scracth cards are better on winning! I bought 1 after another looking to win! (7 in all) of the $200 Million Blowout cards, Oh Yea I got BlowenOut all right not 1 winning card! $140 gone! I wished I had stoped after the 2nd card!

I see a lot of people have problems with the N.C.lottery all one has to do is read the news and everyone can see how store employees and lottery employees are getting arrested all over the U.S. Maybe there should be a investigation in N.C. Yet it won't stop me from playing it still only takes luck!!NC Lottery

Love that you have a new Bingo card coming out, is there ever going to be a higher pay-out Bingo Card. I'm sure there are tons of people that would love to have a chance to win more with the Bingo cards. I only play Bingo cards because I like the feeling of actually playing a game and I would be willing to pay more for a higher pay-out game and I sure there are plenty others out there. Is there a way we can get this idea to the design guys?NC Lottery
Our product development team reads this blog and comments, too :-)

Glad there are some new tickets coming out! I haven't been buying any scratch offs lately! Sticking to playing Cash5,PB and MM..Not having much luck on any of them either. Win A buck here and there on Cash5. But no wins on MM,PB... So I may change my playing habits, Think I will just buy what I spend on Draw games and just buy scratch offs instead! 10.00 dollars a week, or just save the 10 bucks, and don't play any games until the end of the month. Then spend it all once a month at buying 40 dollars worth of scratch offs with it. Maybe my luck will change then.. no luck on draw games, so what the heck, worth a try! Good Luck to all of you players out there in LZ land!

I won $5000 last year playing the $5.00 Jungle Bucks. I hope I am Lucky this year, bring it on!!!!

So disappointed in the NCEL. I know you are not printing winners. Have been trying for weeks to win something and nothing is winning. People have very little chance of winning even small amounts and it doesnt even matter what ticket you purchase. I have witnessed other people just as frustrated as myself after scratching nothing but losers! Stop taking advantage of people and print a few winners for a change. Your 1 in 4 chance of winning should be 1 in 100 just to win the price of the ticket back. What a freaking joke!

10/30/2014 08:11 - otto k.

Just more games for people to win other then the ones that live in Gaston County N.C. I GUESS LIKE YOU ALWAYS SAY IT'S THE LUCK OF THE DRAW(HA HA)

10/30/2014 07:44 - Edward M.

Jingle all the way to the bank. I hope!

Hope we have some holiday cheer games for the second chance lottery players.I could use some extra shopping bucks for the holidays.

10/30/14 need more winning tickets than losing tickets

All of them. The bigdog needs to buy gifts for the family

I was wondering on AVERAGE how many entries do you get on the weekly drawings?NC Lottery
The communication team doesn't have an average for you, but we can tell you that there were 158,867 entries for this week's drawing, and 148,976 entries the week before. We hope one of yours is a lucky one sometime soon! :)

if it wasn't for bad luck....id have NONE!!!

10/30/2014 04:54 - Annie M.

Thanks for the Jumbo Jingle Bucks..they are my favorite. Now..just gotta WIN!

10/30/2014 02:35 - nathaniel w.

I entered the luck-e-rewards drawing for Wednesday($2,500) on the site it says they haven't notified a winner could you tell me if this is true or have they notified the winner and need to update the 10/29/2014 drawing to say "winner notified:to be announced"NC Lottery
For drawings held on Wednesdays, winners are typically notified by e-mail within 48 hours; but we can't say the winner has been notified until he or she responds to the notification :-)

10/30/2014 02:33 - harvey v.

are all these new games the reason why no tickets are winning right now? Everything I buy loses. How about printing some winners! I have been a loyal supporter of the NC lottery until this year. I normally give scratchoffs to my friends and family for Christmas but not this year with all the losers. I think I will buy my tickets in South Carolina. You people are criminals!NC Lottery
We hear that you are frustrated, and only want you to play if you're having fun. Our goal is to offer a variety of games of chance, share the odds of winning for those games, and pay out prizes to players who are lucky enough to win.

I am excited. Can not wait. Need some good luck for a change.

10/30/2014 01:22 - Marvin R.

On the Monopoly Board, it states that I need St James Place when I just entered that ticket in the system. Is this an error of some Kind?
