HAPPY - The lottery works as quickly as possible to end an old game, pick up the old tickets, and introduce new tickets into circulation. It's standard practice among lottery organizations. Players have the chance to win prizes on either version of the game.

Another new game showed up on June 3, 2014 - Mega Bucks, game #400. Funny thing, it looks identical to the Mega Bucks (Red) game # 151 from March 9, 2009 that is still in play. In many cases, you don't know which game you are buying, unless you can see the back of the ticket to verify the game number. If you buy from the machines, this is not possible. Many folks have a preference for either new or older games, due to the number of prizes remaining. Seems a bit shady to bring out an identical game and not add it to the existing game like you usually do - ie, extending a game by printing additional tickets. Should be illegal to sell tickets on two identical games without a way to verify prior to purchase which game you are playing. The old game has one 100,000 prize remaining while the new one still has all eight 100,000 prizes remaining. I like to know which one I am playing....

Has anyone won more than once on the second chance drawings? NC Lottery
Yes, it has happened. But it takes a good bit of luck! :-)

6/11/2014 06:37 - Betty K.

That second chance instant scratch off ticket sounds like a great idea.If you have not won on luck zone by entering tickets.You want complain so much when you win on a second chance scratch off ticket.Hope I see one in the future.

6/11/2014 01:45 - JULIA J.

I also have a concern that some scratch offs take more muscle to scratch. Example: $120 Million tickets are not a problem but the $20 game of Multiplier is tougher to scratch. I use a scratch off coin that South Carolina gives out.

I have played Cash 5 and played 5 numbers and each time the cashier could not tell me which numbers match the EZ Match. Is it the order that the EZ Match is on the lottery sheet? EX: If it is the last box on the lottery sheet the numbers on the EZ Match -should they match the last row of numbers? I hope this makes sense?NC Lottery
Can you call player customer service to explain? 877-962-7529

There was a $1 Mil winner from Marshall, yes, but he didn't buy it in Madison County.. Just an observation when I read the link you posted:)

6/09/2014 11:49 - Jonathan T.

I would love to see a second chance instant scratch off ticket come out. When you enter the ticket on-line it would say you have won $50 or $500. Would add more people if you made luck-e rewards more interesting. NC Lottery
This is a cool idea that we'll pass along. Thanks!

6/08/2014 01:48 - lucy f.

I can't understand the locking out perantmently that mean that I can no longer enter the numbers in the computer. Well looks as though there are more concern about the winners that I have. NC Lottery

Hit 500 should be a $1 ticket. For $5, the top prize should be much higher. If I'm taking a chance with $5, the potential jackpot needs to be more than 500 bucks. Also, when tickets are re-introduced, the new versions should have some differentiating color or font to distinguish them from older versions. New versions of Mega Bucks, Jumbo Bucks, 500 a Week for Life were recently introduced and the tickets look the same as the older versions. Some stores still have the old versions which makes things confusing especially if one buys the ticket from a machine and cannot ask clerk to check back of ticket to see if it is a new game.

6/06/2014 03:31 - tommy w.

no kidding but I hit 500 yesterday on ticket number 053 at the scotchman at the corner of Greenville loop and masonboro loop road. god truly does bless us. thank you lord for helping me.sincerely, tommy wall.

had 153 entries in the second chance drawing for the month of May in the Las Vegas trips...saved them all for a month,just to have 3 more months of drawings added.I would have saved them for the 5th or 6th drawing..does the lottery disqualify you for a lot of entries? I know it takes a lot to win,i'm tired of losing twice on one ticket.show me a winner that has enterd more tickets than me.. NC Lottery
Sorry to hear you haven't had a fun experience. Remember, more than 300,000 players are actively entering drawings. Best of luck to you in the future!

I'm waiting for some winning tickets in Winton. It does seem that small towns are left out.NC Lottery
We can assure you that the 759 people in Winton, NC have no better or worse chance of winning the lottery than any of the other 9 million or so people in the state. It takes luck to win whether you live in a big city or a small town.

Customer appreciation tickets :)

6/06/2014 12:24 - Derrick M.

How bout a ticket where everyone wins at least their money back. Customer appreciation tickets.

6/06/2014 12:10 - Consuella B.

In response to your answer- I use the scratcher from the lottery and of course aa coin

6/06/2014 12:01 - James M.

The Scoop Cash Ticket has been hitting about every 5-10 tickets. I hit a $200,$40,$20,$10,$4 from $60 bucks worth of tickets in Gray's Creek May 31st. Been doing good with the $2 Scoop Cash,but it'll get you to,lol. Since then I've hit regularly on that ticket lately. My Luck Is Faith! Try It!NC Lottery
Hey! Glad to hear you had so much good luck! :-)

6/05/2014 09:00 - sherry p.

6/05/2014 06:49 - Ronald C.

Thanks for your answer. I had a few but only a small number compared to the total.

6/05/2014 06:23 - Derrick M.

I hit 50 on ez money and 100 hundred on red hot 5

6/05/2014 06:08 - Natalie M.

I have been playing scratch offs&cash 5 for years& sometimes the powerball&megmillions also and have never even won a $100 dollars! Seems like all the major winners are always around the same locations usually bigger city areas. Certainly not here in Oak Island,Brunswick or Columbus County much at all.I have also experienced some of the scratch off games being harder than others to scratch off using same method as usual,a coin. May the forces of luck be with us or atleast me because up until this point I'm having a hard time finding any!NC Lottery
While it does take a lot of luck to win, we've certainly had winners in your area. Here is a link you can copy & paste for more info: http://bit.ly/1oklLqC

What was the largest number of entries for the $5,000 May money drawing? Would like to see how mine compared.NC Lottery
How many individual entries a Lucke-Zone member makes into a drawing isn't information given to the communications team that answers questions on the blog. It would be up to each member to decide if they want to share that info. We can tell you that more than 209,000 total entries were made in the drawing.

6/05/2014 06:03 - Peggy T.

I have had bad luck with tickets..but I'm not giving up..eventually i will be a winner..so I'm getting all three of the knew tickets..momma needs a knew pair of shoes..lol

6/05/2014 12:33 - Denise P.

Has anyone won more than $10 on the EZ match on the cash 5 tickets?NC Lottery
Of course. The top EZ Match prize is $500 and it has been won many, many times since the feature began.

6/05/2014 12:22 - Denise P.

All the winning scratch off tickets must be on 1 roll in a store in another county cause they are not around here lol

6/04/2014 11:12 - Shanaja A.

I am just a little curious on how the Luck E Zone game winners are determined. I have played non-stop since the beginning and have never won. I know it is all luck but just curious.NC Lottery
Popular question. Lucke-Zone drawings are conducted using a random number generator, under the supervision of an auditor, according to specific security procedures. As you said, it's all luck - good luck to you :-)

6/04/2014 07:59 - shelly d.

Glad you got lucky!

6/04/2014 03:37 - DANELLE S.

When will the small town of Mars Hill get some winning scratch tickets? I have been playing the $10 and $20 tickets for months now and nothing other than a few $20 winners. From the winner board it looks like there has only been one $1,000 winner in the past few months from the Ingles kiosk... I know it's a small town but so is Marion and they seem to get winners every week....NC Lottery
Its not any easier to walk into a store in Marion or Charlotte and win than it is in Mars Hill. We know you don't live in Marshall, but we did have a $1M winner from your county this year: http://bit.ly/SywMbP

6/04/2014 12:26 - catherine m.

I'm hoping for a big win very soon.

6/04/2014 09:33 - Elaine B.

Best of luck to everyone (including me) : )

6/03/2014 09:32 - Consuella B.

I don't know if anyone has control over this at the lottery; but is there any way that the new tickets can be made with the easy scratch off material? Some of them are so very hard to scratch it seems as though you are going to scratch a hole in them. For example-Jumbo Bucks NC Lottery
Hmmm...We haven't heard much negative feedback about this. Can you tell us what you're using to scratch with? We'll certainly pass along your concerns.

6/03/2014 06:41 - Chris A.

Well purchased a whole roll of the Hit 500 ticket today and only won $100 and few small ones back oh well here we go again...:(

6/03/2014 07:54 - Dwayne K.

I sure hope this Hit 500 is better than the last one . I've worked in stores for 3 years now and the last hit 500 hardly ever hit 500. People got discouraged with it very quickly.NC Lottery
It's the same game as before. The only reason we're bringing it back is because it was popular with players. It is a different kind of game with lots of $500 prizes but, of course, it still takes a lot of luck to win one of them! ;-)

6/03/2014 05:12 - vineta m.

It would be nice to see a ten dollar ticket with multiple games.Can that be done?

6/03/2014 12:18 - Vincent R.
