Headed to get supplies for the Panthers-Broncos showdown? Don't forget to pick up a Lucky for Life ticket. Monday's drawing is our state's first shot to win the top prize of $1,000 a day for life. Find out more about the game, including how to play, here.

Oh and here's an "extra point" we'd like to make that we think you'll like: Submit any Lucky for Life ticket here in the Lucke-Zone from Feb. 7 through March 12 to enter the $1,000 a Day second-chance promotion. We'll hold 35 drawings, one for each day in the entry period, for a chance to win a $1,000 prize. Best of all, when you submit a ticket, you are automatically entered into every remaining drawing for that day forward!

OTHER NEWS & NOTES:

- With football fans across the Carolinas and beyond anticipating victory for their team in Sunday's match-up, someone in the Panthers' home city of Charlotte may already be celebrating a big win. A Powerball ticket sold at the Raceway on Brookshire Boulevard in the Queen City won $50,000 in Saturday's drawing.

- The Powerball jackpot rolled to a $157 million annuity worth $101.7 million cash for Wednesday night.

- Speaking of jackpots, after six straight drawings with no perfect ticket, the Carolina Cash 5 jackpot has climbed to $341,000 heading into Sunday's drawing.

Here's to hoping the Panthers players make history - and that a North Carolina player wins $1,000 a day, every day, for the rest of his or her life!

Why haven't we seen winners names published for the $500.00 giveaway Wednesday's, or the $2500,00 Shopping sprees? I have yet to see the winners announcedNC Lottery
We announce a winner's name as soon as we can - but he or she has to complete the claim process before we can. Here is more info: http://bit.ly/1kVZKkg

Saturday I had 3 numbers on 2 different cash 5 tics and just missed 4 on both. I had 3 out of 5 again last night. I bought 5 LFL tics Sun. & 5 on Mon. I won $6 on 2 tics & $4 on another one. Hey spent $20 and got $16 back on the LFL. Plus I got 5 entries in the 1st, 10 in the 2nd and about to have 15 in the 3rd drawing.

It will be just like all the others games take your Money and give you nothing. Save your money people you are going to need it.

I purchased my ticket Sunday and for some reason I didn't enter the ticket(I forgot). If someone entered a ticket yesterday(Sunday Feb 7th, that ticket will carry forward to all the remaining drawings, and so forth. Anyway, let me make sure I have this correct: I know the ticket I purchased Sunday(which I didn't enter)is too late for Feb 15th drawing and it will not carry forward for the remaining drawings and so forth. The Lucky for Life ticket I enter today will be a chance to win for the 21st drawing. If this is correct, why when I entered the ticket today, it showed 1 entry for each drawing up until the end of the drawing?NC Lottery
Would you call customer service to talk this through? 877-962-7529

I entered tickets Sunday and today. Clicked on the winners tab to double check my entries. I was surprised to see that the tickets I entered today will not be in the 1st drawing. The entries DO carry over for future draws, but every day is a deadline.????NC Lottery
That is correct. Only tickets entered on Sunday will be eligible to win the $1,000 prize for the winner that will be announced on Feb. 15. But those entries will carry forward to all the remaining drawings, and so forth. It's a little complicated, we know. But wanted to give folks more chances to win :-D

Is it true this game has been going for over a year and only one person has ever won the top prize in that time? It is hard to believe the odds of 1 in 31 million and that there has only been one winner and about 10 2nd prize winners in that time period.NC Lottery
Just over one year. One top prize winner of $1K/day for life and 45 second prize winners of $25K/year for life. The odds of any one ticket winning the top prize are always the same. But how often a ticket beats the odds of 1 in 31 million has everything to do with how many tickets are in play for a given drawing. North Carolina has a population of approximately 10 million - the more of our players who get a ticket, the more likely someone in our state will win!

I had to show the clerk the LFL button on the terminal and print my own tickets.. :) We found the playslips and I put them out for other players. I look forward to playing and HOPEFULLY WINNING!!! :) :) :)NC Lottery
Thanks for going to the extra effort! The game is new to our state so it will take some time for everyone to get up to speed! :)

I bought a subscription online but it did not enter into the second chance drawing...how do I get entered using online ticket purchasesNC Lottery
To enter some promotions, you have to buy at a retailer and submit the code for entry. This is one of those promotions.

I too had problem a purchasing Lucky for life. I went to several stores before I found a store that had the play slip but by the time l went home and came back to Lucke zone online it was finally up and running.

I believe that we won't have many winning tickets purchased here. The NCEL is the most unlikely place to win much of anything. Here the Numbers repeat more than any other state and the amount of winners per day are dismal to say the least. This is the feelings of great deal of people, I took a survey. Step your game up NCEL, for real!NC Lottery
We wish every lottery ticket could be a winning ticket. But then we wouldn't be able to award prizes - more than $3 million a day. Here is a link to stories about last week's biggest winners: http://bit.ly/20gsz8G

Went to a gas station this morning (Sunday)- they said I couldn't buy Lucky for Life until Monday morning. The clerk said sales didn't start until Monday and she had turned a lot of folks away already that Morning. Did anyone else experience this? I ended up having to travel elsewhere to buy a ticket.

Had to travel to three stores this morning to purchase a ticket..one of the stores knew nothing about this ticket..another store clerk had not been trained (on how to sell the tickets)..all stores should be on the same page when new tickets are introduced. Hopefully, this worked in my favor..I will win with this ticket!!!

For all entrees I've done,it's my turn to win...I'm excited!

With the 2nd chance promo, what happens if it's a multi-draw ticket? Say it's for 3 days, does that give us 3 entries for 3 conservative draws or how does it work.NC Lottery
Great question. One ticket, regardless of ticket price, gets you one entry into every drawing from that date forward. That means if you buy five sets of Lucky for Life numbers and want to get five entries, you will need to buy them on five separate $2 tickets.

I got my tickets this morning. I Love this promotion. It couldn't be any easier to enter this contest. Well done!
