I wish I can win so I can help me and my family. But I wish everyone good luck.

Thank you for the blessing in advance. Since I am a teacher I don't have a lot of money to buy tickets but I do purchase what do have an alloted amount for each month. It's not very much though. I don't have anyone who helps me to enter my tickets and I don't have a phone to scan them. I learned by recently winning the 5 for 500 that it doesn't take using all of your points to win. You have to believe to receive and expect it to get it. God is so goooooooood!!!! Thank you God and thank you NC Education Lottery!!! NC Lottery
Congratulations on the win. Thanks for sharing the news, but most importantly, thank you for your service to our state as a teacher.

1/28/2016 07:19 - Darryl W.

Exactly how are the winners determined? Have entered so many and nothing being to think its rigged!!!!! Cal iwin one?NC Lottery
Winners are chosen using a random number generator. There are many Lucke-Zone members entering these drawings for a chance to win. Any entry you make has just as good a chance as anyone else's good luck!

1/28/2016 06:18 - Robert G.

How come some lottery retailers do not scan the scratch off ticket when selling? Been to 2 places where the ticket(s) were not scanned. Please advise. Thank you

When this drawing happens do you do the million dollar prize first or is it the last one drawn?

1/28/2016 03:21 - Tony T.

Lucke-Zone, I am confused , sorry. You said above, a couple posts back answer to Bet : "Lucke-Zone Replied : " If a trust or group of people claim a "for life" prize, the only option will be a lump sum payout. " Then you said a few post below that answering me , Player . "Lucke-Zone Replied : "No. A trust cannot claim a prize in North Carolina. Only one or more people." And the rules state this : "Multiple individuals on one ticket and legal entities such as corporations, partnerships, trusts, and estates, are only eligible to claim the guaranteed portion of the "For Life" prize without the annuity feature or elect the Cash Option." What am I not getting here ? :) NC Lottery
It's our fault. We confused you. A trust can claim a prize in NC. Sorry about that.

Thanks again for all the kind words I have receive concerning my Mother. Just want to make sure for all those that only keep current comments.

1/28/2016 02:27 - stephane d.

How often and at what time does the website get updated? I understand the retailers have the information instantaneously, why is the website not on the same program? I follow GA, FL and at times MD. Those states provide an enormous amount of information at a faster pace. why the secrecy in North Carolina? The retailers have the information, why not provide that same information on the website. NC Lottery
Could you be more specific about what information you are seeking. That would help us see if we could improve. The prize information on instant tickets is updated daily and that happens overnight. We update our blog and other information throughout the day as we have news and information to share.

1/28/2016 02:14 - brian b.

would like to know how many entries are in the games to se how many players are playing..or how many tickets have been entered??? ncel ???? NC Lottery
Sorry for the delay in responding. You can post a question or call Customer Service at 1 877-962-7529 and we'll look up how many entries have been put into the drawings you are interested in.

1/28/2016 01:37 - Reneta M.

I need a win, so I can feel just like the other lucky winners.

1/28/2016 01:12 - Michael W.

Is there any way to see how many tickets have been entered into the second chance drawing? Curious to see how many people entered. NC Lottery
Sure. Post a question and we'll get the latest number of entries for you.

1/28/2016 12:20 - Betty K.

I'm hoping I can see my small town on the Lucke-Zone at least once.

1/28/2016 09:39 - Jessica W.

For the millions drawing do we need to have our scratch off ticket if we win? I know we already scanned it but the cashier ripped it up and took it from me so are my entries valid?NC Lottery
Once you've successfully entered a ticket here, you don't need to keep it.

1/28/2016 09:37 - Tony T.

Bet asked : Sorry but I just HAVE to ask: what is a "natural person" LOL I had the same question...thought we ALL were natural people. SO LuckEZone, a established trust can claim a cash lump sum prize ?NC Lottery
Yes. A trust can claim a prize in North Carolina.

1/28/2016 09:29 - Elizabeth P.

I wish the lottery was distributed fairly and the people in the piedmont triad had as much chance to win as those in the eastern part of NC.NC Lottery
You have the same chance to win a lottery prize as anyone else, no matter where you live. We've had lots of winners in the Piedmont.

Sorry but I just HAVE to ask: what is a "natural person" NC Lottery
Just what you think. A living, breathing person. Helps to understand in the Lucky for Life rules what is not a natural person. It is not a corporation, a trust, or a group of people. If a trust or group of people claim a "for life" prize, the only option will be a lump sum payout.
