After months in the making, the date is upon us for the first Ultimate Millions second-chance drawing for $1 million. Besides the $1 million top prize, 10 winners of $5,000 and 25 winners of $500 will be drawn on Wednesday.
Since the game began in September through the Jan. 31 deadline, players made more than 1.2 million entries. Tickets submitted after the deadline will be eligible for the next second-chance drawing, the date for which has yet to be determined.
We understand why there is so much interest in the drawing – hey, we’re talking about $1 million here! So here are some answers to common questions we get:
- Q: How and when are winners notified? A: Within 48 hours of the draw date – in this case, 5:30 p.m. Friday – the lucky winners will be notified by e-mail. If a winner does not respond to e-mail notification, we will call or send certified mail if needed.
- Q: When will the winners be announced? A: We can only announce a winner’s name after he or she has completed the claim process. The $5,000 prizes must be claimed at one of our regional claims centers and the $1 million winner will come to lottery HQ in Raleigh to collect.
- Q: How is the drawing conducted? A: Using a certified random number generator, according to specific security procedures, under the supervision of an independent auditor. More information is available here.
Good luck to all who entered for a chance to win! We’ll look forward to meeting and announcing the winners as soon as possible.
