Deadline nears for BBQ Bucks, ‘X The Cash’ drawings

October 28, 2015 Posted by NC Lottery at 3:22 PM

Would you like to win 100 pounds of pork and a Big Green Egg grill to cook it all on? Or how about just $50,000 in cash?

Your chances for either of those prizes depends on getting your entries in for our next two second-chance drawings by midnight Saturday.

We will be drawing names for three winners of the BBQ Bucks second-chance drawing as part of our “1,000 lbs. Pork Giveaway.” Enter a $2 ticket from our BBQ Bucks game that features our first-ever scented lottery ticket. When you scratch, it smells like smoky BBQ!

The drawing will be the second of three. In this drawing, three winners will get a Big Green Egg grill and 100 pounds of pork. Ten more lucky players will receive cash prizes of $500. For a chance to win, BBQ Bucks tickets must be entered here in the Lucke-Zone by midnight on Saturday.

The large Big Green Egg package includes premium organic charcoal, kiln-dried hickory chunks and a full-color cookbook. The 100 pounds of pork prize will be awarded in the form of a $2,250 gift certificate to Smithfield Marketplace.

Sonny Freeman of Rockingham in Richmond County was one of the winners in the first second-chance drawing on Oct. 7.

“I placed an order yesterday,” Freeman said. “Some hams, and ordered some stuff for the family for Christmas and for a couple of friends. I love BBQ. And I love to cook BBQ.”

Saturday is also the deadline for the 9th “X The Cash” second-chance drawing. There will be 11 drawings in all with one winner of $50,000 and 10 winners of $500 in each.

Enter any qualifying “X the Cash” series scratch off ticket (5X the Cash, 10X the Cash, 20X the Cash, 50X the Cash and/or 100X the Cash) during the entry periods and you are automatically entered to win one of the cash prizes.

So far, $50,000 prizes have gone to winners in Manson, LaGrange, Rocky Mount, Burlington, Fayetteville, Winston-Salem and Leland. We’re looking forward to finding out who the ninth winner will be.

Both second-chance drawings are scheduled to be held on Wednesday.

Again, about those ticket entries that one person said all his entry numbers end in the #1. Is he referring to when he buys via the subscription service? Like I say, my ticket entries have various numbers and letters on the end and I don't use the subscription service, buy my tickets at a store and input here. The person who originally wondered about this should call tech.customer service , I just want to know WHERE he is seeing those numbers? Is he inputting regular store bought entries or talking about via the subscription service ? BTW, I can't seem to look past my " current" Ticket Entry History when using the drop down menu.

I spend time collecting them from convenient stores and sometimes I even get them out of the trashcan with gloves on I have definitely entered a lot of tickets. I hope I win soon.

about those ticket entries that one person said all his end in the #1....as quoted below : "Looking back through my Lucky Zone Drawing entry numbers I find that all entry numbers end with a one, like 91,61,51,21,31,11,etc. Can anyone tell me why?" Lucke-Zone Replied What you're seeing there is a record of the transactions, like a receipt for your entry - not an actual entry number :) ************************************************** I don't understand, I looked through mine and they vary , letters and numbers and not all ones. I also don't understand about LUCKE-ZONE's reply above . Where do I find this " record of transactions"? I looked through my history and again, I see various numbers and letters . I buy all my tickets at the stores, not online. Mainly cash 5 and a few scratch off's every now and then. Is the above pertaining to online purchases only ?NC Lottery

Looks like I am ending October with a bang!!! I just bought three 50x the cash tickets. Lucky # 21 was a 2x250 winner! Just in time, we're headed to Key west for an 8 day road trip. No lap top , no cell phone. I'll just have to wait till we get home to check my email... That Karma works. I just gave a friend a jar of free honey from my back yard bees before I got the tics.
