Ready to ring in the New Year? We are too. And we’re kicking off the First Tuesday of 2015 with three new games, including one called $200,000 Gold Rush that starts with six top prizes.

With its golden graphics, you can’t miss tickets for this $5 game. The $200,000 top prizes are among more than $20.5 million total prizes in the game. The game also has “2X” and “5X” symbols that allow you to multiply your winnings, and scratching off a “Gold Bar” symbol wins all 12 prizes on the ticket.

For $2 per play, you could win a “$30,000 Payday!” in the game that goes by that name. The game features five top prizes of $30,000. Every ticket gives you the chance to win all 10 prizes – but only if you find a “Moneybag” symbol.

You could celebrate the New Year with some cash if you’re lucky enough to win playing $5,000 Fiesta. It’s a $1 game with eight top prizes of $5,000 and more than 1.5 million winning tickets. By scratching off a “Dollar” symbol, you can win all five prizes on the ticket.

This is just the first of many previews you’ll get here in the Lucke-Zone in 2015, highlighting new scratch-off games coming your way. Thanks for reading – and scratching!

Wow you dI'd win sometimes. You are not going to break even. Just be glad you won most of your money back. So many players are too frustrated to keep playing. After all it is supposed to be for fun. S

For 2014, I kept a ledger of my winnings and losses from tickets that I purchased. I won $1938 but I lost $2475. I didn't win anything on Lucke-Rewards. I haven't decided yet how much I am going to play in 2015. The thrill of the game is fading away.

It seems as if more people as ant were winning until people started entering these numbers in second chance drawings. The person who does not want to put his numbers in until after the drawing might be on to something.

My comment is that you get frustrated playing all the time trying to win something and all you get is two or five dollars. When I play five I should win more than five so that will give me more incentive to keep on playing. I know that not everyone is going to win but you see more losers than winnersNC Lottery
It is always true with lottery games that there are more non-winning than winning tickets. Non-winning tickets is where the prize money comes from. Good luck to you!

seems like the bigger the top prizes are, the less overall chances of winning anything are. maybe just me...NC Lottery
It's actually the other way around. The games with higher top prizes tend to have better odds of winning a prize.

I will get in on these three! but I have a question about entering numbers tickets into lucky-zone. If I enter the number into lucky-zone before the evening draw, then the system will know ahead of time the cash5 number I am actually playing, since it corresponds with the numbers/letters entered into lucky-zone, and therefore can avoid picking all 5 of my numbers. Tonight I entered 00DB5 F5CYG etc etc etc for my 16-19-27-37-38 number so the system already has an advantage over me. Should I wait until after the draw to enter the code?NC Lottery
The results of a Cash 5 drawing are totally random, so it doesn't matter what time of day you choose to enter your numbers as long as it's before the cut-off point :)
