In Eastern NC, lucky Pick 4 player matches for $17,600

What’s better than winning a prize playing Pick 4? How about winning four prizes in one drawing?

That’s what Willis Boone of Hollister did in the Jan. 2 daytime drawing when the number 1-4-8-6 came up. Three of his $1 tickets matched in exact order to win $5,000 each and a fourth $1 ticket was the 50/50 play type, winning the Halifax County man $2,600 more for a total of $17,600. In all, 236 tickets won $77,238 in the drawing.

Remember, starting Sunday, Feb. 1, a new play type will be available to Pick 3 and Pick 4 players called 1-OFF. Playing Pick 4 with the 1-OFF play type gives you 80 chances to win on a single ticket.

Congratulations to Mr. Boone and good luck to all Pick 4 players out there.

@ LUCKESTAR - The MMC Bonus drawing was conducted using a random number generator (RNG) to choose from all the entries made. But the numbers printed on the tickets are not the numbers that were in the drawing. We can find out for you how many total entries were made in the drawing, but let's say it was 200,000. Each entry would have been randomly assigned a number between 1 and 200,000 and the RNG would have been told to pick 27 entries at random from among those. You can see a list of the winners who have claimed so far here: http://bit.ly/1voN61z

This is the third time I have asked about the numbers for the MMC second chance drawing. The first time I was give the link to information that did not have any MMC information 1/22/15. The next time I commented you did not respond 1/28/15. This is my third comment/ request: where are the winNing numbers that you said were drawn on 1/21/15 located? I would like to check my numbers against what was drawn. The very first time NC did a drawing it was all on the site this time there was nothing posted anywhere. I would like something more than a vague response like the winners have been notified. I am sure there are others players who would like to see the numbers that were actually drawn.

Monopoly drawing information does not appear at the link you have provided (This is the first place I looked) All other GaMes do appear. So what were the winnig codes/numbers? For the MMC January 21, 2015 drawing so we can check our ticket entries.

It's not luck when a busy service station says they have not paid out on any tickets all day and it's 10:00 at night. Or when another station says all the tickets are paying is $5 or $10. You cant keep lying to us about how much money you are putting on the tickets when we can figure it out for ourselves. The goldrush ticket sucks. It never pays anything! As you can tell, Im not happy with playing this scam anymore. You just lost a supporter of the lottery.NC Lottery
We are hearing that you are frustrated and we only want you to play if you're having fun. Just so you know, all of the lottery's practices and finances are reviewed by independent auditors to ensure fairness to everyone.

Wondering about subscription service, do you get bonus entry with Cash 5 purchase? NC Lottery
Sorry, not with subscription purchases. The Cash 5 Bonus Bucks promotion only applies to purchases at a retail location, either at the counter or through a lottery vending machine.

The Week for Life games are a set of instant games we always have to play. When all top prizes are won in one of them, we reorder the game with a new set of top prizes. You can keep up with the status of instant games here:http://www.nc-educationlottery.org/instant.aspx The info is updated daily.

Good Morning lz! I was looking at the pick 3 on this web site, I noticed that on the 20th the pick 3 was 519 drawn. Then on the next day the 21st it was drawn again for that day pick of 519. What are the odds of that happening? NC Lottery
Good afternoon, IROCK2KING. The odds for any one set of numbers coming up as winners for Pick 3 are 1 in 1000. Each drawing. It is unusual for the same results to occur on two different days. Over time, these odd little occurrences will happen. There will be years with no trips, and weeks with two and there will be repeat numbers and sometimes 123 will come up in the day and 456 will come up at night. These are the inevitable byproducts of a random system.

Congratulations??????????

good luck to all!

I am wondering why the areas the tickets for the Monopoly winners are not showing like they do with the cash 5 or the winning numbers so we can check them. I know the area where I live has really never hit anything big not even the Cash 5. I am not holding my breath to have won anything but would be nice to be able to see the numbers pulled. Also how do you notify the winners? NC Lottery
Winners are notified first at the e-mail address associated with their Lucke-Zone accounts and then by telephone and certified mail. Winners' names are announced after they complete the claim process. We list the winners' names and hometowns here: https://rewards.lucke-zone.com/drawings

Congratulations to Mr. Boone! Was it a quick pick or his picks? NC Lottery
Sorry, IROCK2KING. We didn't get that info from Mr. Boone.

1/22/2015 07:54 - SHANNAN B.

Way to go, Willis!

Twice I have had to re- register because password wasn't being accepted, thus knowing if you won and if someone intercepted your winning is always a possibility and a simple tamper with your paws so that you can't see what happened are possible unless all employees and staff are immune to quick money scams and schemes. How many times must I register?

Where is the information for NC second chance Monopoly? The drawing was to be held last night 1-21-15 correct?NC Lottery
The drawing was done. Winners are typically notified within 48 hours, first at the e-mail address associated with their Lucke-Zone account and then, if necessary, by telephone and certified mail. A winner's name is only announced after he or she responds to notification AND completes the claim process, which can take days or weeks. As soon as we have winners' names to announce, they'll be posted down the page here: https://rewards.lucke-zone.com/drawings
