Deadline for Lucke-Rewards drawings extended

April 30, 2016 Posted by NC Lottery at 9:18 AM
image-photo

The deadlines for entering our 10th Anniversary Celebration drawings will be extended to midnight on Monday, May 2.

The lottery is extending the deadlines because technical difficulties with the Lucke-Rewards website that began Friday has made it hard for some to get their entries into the drawings. Access could still be intermittent today, but we expect the web pages to respond better throughout the weekend.

The extension applies to both the monthly 10th Anniversary Celebration $10,000 Drawing and the 10th Anniversary Celebration $10,000 Weekly Drawing.

It also means that both drawings will be rescheduled. The new date for the drawings will be Wednesday, May 11th.

The monthly drawing will award 10 prizes of $10,000. The weekly drawing willl award one prize of $10,000.

Thank you for your patience as we responded to the issues with our Lucke-Rewards website. Good luck in the drawing.

Thank You for the extensions on points an drawings. It worked for me Monday evening. Crossing my fingers, toes & eyes hoping my luck changes for the good. Again THANK YOU! Sure glad I'm not in your shoes with this nightmare.

Be sure and enter your tickets before you cash them in I had a winning ticket but wasn't at home so I wrote down all the information and cashed in the ticket, two days later I tried to enter the winning ticket and it was rejected saying it had already been entered!! I called NCEL and was told once you cash in the ticket it no longer belongs to you and stores can do whatever they want to do with the tickets, so how is an individual suppose to compete with the retailers if they are able to submit winning tickets that individuals bought, I am not happy with this at all, we don't have a chance if retailers can enter or give them to someone else to enter and they don't even have to buy them,really frustrating!!NC Lottery
We highly recommend entering a winning ticket for points before you cash it in so that you are in control of your points and second-chance entries.

thank you for the Extensions!! , did win yet LOL :-)

I still can't enter tickets. I shut my phone off and logged out and back on. I am in Myrtle Beach today. Is there a restriction on entering tickets from outside NC?NC Lottery
There is no restriction on entering tickets online when you are outside of North Carolina - you just have to be in the state when you make the purchase, whether at a store or via web-based subscription. Sorry you are still having trouble entering tickets; the issue has been fixed on our side - it appears some internet providers that members get service from have responded faster than others.

phantom714 said Show me these people who win from the western part of the state . I have Checked ALL the winners of these drawings and anyone who says winners come from here is either crazy or dumb . Check for yourself before you say they do GO TO NCEL site and check under winners on the home page...dig a little deep if you must but there HAVE BEEN PLENTY ! That and/or google this : winner NC Lottery Asheville, Waynesville, Boone, etc.... whatever town you can think of up in that part of the state...seek and you shall find. :)

turbo said I agree Greg. In other words, buck up butter cup! 2x, thank you Lucke Zone for being so accommodating !

5/02/2016 01:13 - trecia c.

why are the number of entries limited to 75 a day instead of unlimited entries? how many more ultimate millions drawings?NC Lottery
When the Lucke-Rewards program was originally approved, the daily limit was part of that approval. It is possible it could be changed in the future. There will be two more second-chance drawings for the Ultimate Millions game. There is no date set for the next one. But when there is we'll announce it here.

5/02/2016 12:31 - victoria h.

THANK YOU LUCKE-ZONE! YOU ARE THE BEST.(THANK YOU FOR THE EXTENSION)!

come on north Carolina this scratch off crap is stupid!!!! bring in the casinos and forget this petty junk!

5/02/2016 11:54 - susan w.

didn't really wanna wait til the 11TH to win but I guess I have to. the drawing should have still taken place now you have to reschedule drawings everytime someone cries about it! stupid move!! its a gamble people if you didn't get your entries on time, to bad!!!!!!!!!!

5/02/2016 09:42 - Denver G.

I agree Greg. In other words, buck up butter cup!

5/02/2016 07:19 - russell r.

cannot enter tickets this is a farceNC Lottery
The issue has been resolved on our end. Please try shutting down and resetting either your phone or computer, and clearing your internet history/cache and see if that helps.

5/02/2016 03:12 - Richard B.

Have you also extended the Ultimate millions scratch off promotion offering 10x the reward points? NC Lottery
Yes. Extension goes to midnight Wednesday.

5/01/2016 08:05 - Don B.

I am surprised that you did not extend the multiplier for the Ultimate Millions ticket entry. Are you going to give us 2 more days of that? It seems only fair, as I was only able to enter 1 ticket yesterday. I look forward to your response. NC Lottery
How about three days? You now have until midnight Wednesday.

5/01/2016 07:34 - Tina T.

The scratch Madness on the ultimate millions should be extended!! NC Lottery
We're extending till midnight on Wednesday.

5/01/2016 03:53 - Jeff M.

You should have extended the scratch madness too... tried several times to enter before end of the month... but this has come to be expected with NCEL... NC Lottery
Sorry for your trouble. We are extending the promotion through midnight Wednesday.

5/01/2016 03:19 - greg s.

the lottery did not have to change anything due to the computer glitch! you need to realize they are covered under the rules!!!

5/01/2016 02:50 - Brian M.

Have to agree with the others. The added points for Ultimate Millions need to be extended. Tickets were bought on the promise of extended points for the month. Your website failed badly the last few days of the month. Whether some were able to enter tickets is irrelevant. Many were not. This is a no brainer. Please extend. Already wasted one ticket entry today finding out the points are what they would have been if the website worked properly. But... it didn't. NC Lottery
Extended until midnight Wednesday.

5/01/2016 01:14 - Tony T.

Player said Extending the deadline is not eniugh..I've missed out on scanning 150 tickets..the lottery should let us enter the tickets we missed even if it's over the daily limit of 75...1130 SAT NIGHT I STILL can't scan..so when the system is fixed I'm still 2 days and 150 in the hole I don't understand, HOW DID HE LOSE OUT ON SCANNING TICKETS ?!! NC Lottery
Players lost out when the web pages were down when they were trying to enter tickets. So we hope the extensions help make things right.

5/01/2016 11:27 - Craig T.

Thank you. I want to win.

5/01/2016 09:21 - Lena H.

The site is still not working. :(

5/01/2016 09:09 - Tony T.

system still down at NCEL this Sunday morning but guess Lucke Zone knows that ! I hope all of the members info. and ticket info. has not been compromised in any way ?! NC Lottery
No worries. The technical glitch only involved folks have trouble accessing the web pages, not unauthorized access.

5/01/2016 02:09 - Richard D.

Finally able to enter Tickets but no longer getting additional points for 10th Anniversary and Ultimate Millions. Does not seem fair, as these Tickets were worth many more points while the system was unavailable. Can you please adjust the Point Values to reflect the additional points for 10th Anniversary and Ultimate Millions Tickets entered on Sunday and Monday? NC Lottery
Sorry for your trouble. Promotional points for 10th Anniversary still available. And we extended the Scratch Madness promotional points till midnight Wednesday. Hope that helps.

5/01/2016 12:43 - Sandra P.

Still having problems entering my tickets.

4/30/2016 11:45 - Ellyn H.

The subscription and lucke-reward sites are still down

4/30/2016 11:33 - Mary H.

Ultimate Millions Bonus Points should also be extended. That is one of the reason I bought more of this ticket. You can get anywhere from 7 to 75 more entries in the monthly drawing. 300 to 3000 points possible. It seems like if you extend one the other major points factor should also b extended. NC Lottery
Sorry for your trouble. We're extending the Scratch Madness promotion till midnight Wednesday.

It's now 1117 pm sat night..I still can't scan my tickets...this isn't fair to your players..you all need to extend the deadline at least until maybe friday..I've lots out on scanning 150 tickets for the last 2 days..no fair lottery

4/30/2016 09:44 - Chanel J.

4/30/2016 07:21 - Sue G.

Will $30 tickets be worth 10 times the points until Monday night also? I hope so! NC Lottery
We've extended the time to get 10X the points for Ultimate Millions tickets as part of the Scratch Madness promotion to midnight Wednesday. Sorry for the trouble.

4/30/2016 07:08 - clayton n.

As of 7:01 pm Sat. 4/30/2016 still unable to enter tickets.All fairness of the drawing has been lost since some players can enter today and some can not. Drawings for the remaining weekly prize and the monthly prize need to be cancel and points return to the players. It is the only fair way to do it.

4/30/2016 05:07 - Shawn W.

1.2 entries wow that's a lot that's what's going on . You guys have broke the Internet trying to win my 10k. Lol
