‘All or Nothing’ begins winding down Friday

June 16, 2016 Posted by NC Lottery at 9:10 AM

Last month, we announced that the All or Nothing draw game would end on June 30.

As part of that process, what is called a multi-draw step-down will go into effect Friday. That means a maximum of 27 advance plays will be available after the day drawing on June 17. Each drawing after that, there will be one less advance play available.

Players who win prizes in the final two drawings on Thursday, June 30 will have 180 days to claim.

For more information about the game ending, check out our blog post on the subject, or call customer service team between 8 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, at 877-962-7529.

Good game was garbage. Same with C5 once they took away the easymatch instant win the game is lame. Also your blog isn't mobile friendly at all. Can't zoom out or rotate screen to hit "submit comment" unless text ends on left side of the text box........NC Lottery

Good maybe now you'll can put more money into second chance drawings. This is the the only year i've seen not many second chance drawings all the other years you'll had more drawings since starting it.

U make all the games hard to hit on , by adding numbers . The all or nothing game was really hard to hit , Thts why people quit playing it.Did the same thing on powerball, Mega , cash 5 . Your games will never favor the player.U will have to start cancelling other games to because ppl quit playing them , therefore lottery doesn't hit the profit number their looking for, quit making all the games so hard, but greed will always rule with u guys.

Why couldn't we be the first State to try it if u payout the 80 mil in prizes funds it shouldn't matter and if it don't work it not the first failed game

I agree with you Dwayne! Pick 6 would be a good one to have here in NC! Having it's pay out larger than Cash 5 would be great! I was checking out the pick 6 game in New Jersey and Pennsylvania on line. Might be a good choice to have! Maybe NCEL will find a good one for us! Good Luck everyone!

I have been playing for seven years the most I won was a $100 dollars it's a scam they need to give people some of they money back sometime they put numbers in computer and they know what was played and how many people played it they are robbing us can we win sometimes think they let rich nebiorhoods win that's not fair let's just all stop playing my be they will come to they senses

I never really liked the All or Nothing game either. I am in favor of a NC draw game with 6 numbers and nice jackpots. Name it "Carolina 6" The prize tiers would be a bit smaller than Powerball or Mega Millions but larger than the Cash 5. It would give people in our state a chance to win big money maybe once or twice a week. What do you guys think?

6/18/2016 11:18 - Roger K.

Na,Na,Na Hey Hey Goodbye! Played several times, won only 50 bucks. That was it! So i quit playing that game a long time ago. Sticking to LFL and Cash 5.. Don't play MM or PB anymore! Might buy a few scratch off's. Won 4 numbers right on Cash 5 on 6-14-16.. Have bought a few scratchers with a portion of my winnings! Win some, lose some! Hanging on to the rest! Good Luck everyone!

What about getting a scratch off that pays out only big prize anywhere from 5k to 10k And no break even prize so when u see that u a have a number or match a symbol you know you have won a descent prizeNC Lottery
That's an interesting suggestion. But you probably won't find a ticket like that from any state lottery because without folks having a chance to win something back more often than what you're describing, it wouldn't be as fun to play for enough people to keep the game going.

6/17/2016 09:07 - carolyn b.

AON WAS BADDDD.....GLAD ITS GONE....PB IS NUMBER 2 I ONLY PLAY PB WITH OUR GROUP ODDS R JUST TO BADDDDD.......I HAVE PLAYED KENO IN MD AND DIDNT WIN A THING SO KENO STINKS ALSO....KENO AND AON ARE SAME GAME JUST DIFFERENT NAMES LOL.....KENO WOULD BE ANOTHER WASTE OF TIME...IF NC STARTED A PICK 6 WITH REALLY REALLY GOOD ODDS AND STARTED AT 3 MILLION AND ONLY COST ONE DOLLAR TO PLAY...THEN NC WOULD HAVE A GAME PEOPLE LIKED...NO MRE BS WITH OUR GAMES HAVE 2 ADD UP TO MULTI STATE GAMES

6/17/2016 08:53 - carolyn b.

I played this game from day one. I havent won nothing yet. Horrible game to play.still waiting on anything to happen. It sucks you dry. The drawing were done by an accountant. We never see how the numbers are pick.NC Lottery

One word: KENO

6/16/2016 05:27 - Jennifer B.

Wow, not Sure about the details of how to continue playing in light of the latest "wind-down-day" announcement that starts at noon tomorrow!! It's a Super-Fun game...but it's ALSO a LOT of Hard Work!! Just when I think I Might have a clue as to what is going on.. it proves me wrong!! All or Nothing is the Only lottery game I have played since powerball began around 10 years ago..I DO buy tickets, but will sorely miss the allure and endless notebooks of numbers I come up with, only to Not quite break even.. I just learned that if you Miss a day(on the Right numbers...which May-or-May-Not actually be right after all, then you lose your "playing money". This is MY Opinion Only... An Absolutely maddening game , but I will miss the brain workouts(the slight Overall losses, not so much)!!!

Good riddens!

6/16/2016 03:20 - Brent W.

I'm so GLAD that it's going away NOBODY really won .. More numbers u get the less you received what since did that make.. Seems to me the more you received the more funds you should have collected ..HURRY AND TAKE AWAY AND DON'T LOOK BACK

6/16/2016 02:56 - William D.

odds for lower winners are better at the lucke 4 life. the lowest you can win is double the cost. that the way it should be with the scratch offs. Nice to have big prizes but add better pay at the bottom would really liven things up. As a gambler I too will be playing trying the be the last Big Winner. Good Luck everybody.

6/16/2016 02:56 - William H.

You say in the future u hope to have New and interesting games that I might like But we both know that's a lie don't we NCEL? Because all u guys seem to be Interested in are the corporized bs Multistate games that makes u guys Lots of $$, but its no longer fun For us serious lotto players who turned a game of luck into a game of skill.congratulations NCEL ur no better than the CEO bankers That crashed the housing market and stole America's $ and took the bank bailout $ Because of pure greed...U have done No better NCEL...give urselves a pat On the back!!

WHEN I FOUND OUT LOTTERY COMMING TO N.C. I SUGGESTED THEY HAVE KENO. NEVER SAW THAT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT GAME REPLACE ALL OR NOTHING

6/16/2016 02:26 - Jon K.

I play all or nothing every day and usually win something. I hit $500 4 times and a lot of $50 and $10. I thought it was a great game. Maybe you can come up with something as good or better.

6/16/2016 01:39 - john L.

Yes me to

6/16/2016 01:37 - jason r.

I would have liked to seen a $1 and $2 option on it and maybe only one drawing a day.i have been playing it lately !trying to be last one to hit a quarter of a million $$$$$$$S would be something to celebrate!!!

6/16/2016 01:32 - larry f.

Like a thief in the night,,, all take and no give.

6/16/2016 12:58 - Claude W.

Me too. And I'm planning to stop playing Powerball and Mega millions too. To many numbers and the odds of winning are practically impossible. Just wondering does the computer know what numbers that have been played!!!NC Lottery

Sorry to hear that you're disappointed the game is ending. We know it was popular with some players, but not enough to keep it going. We hope that in the future we have some games that have features and prizes that you like playing for a chance to win.

I was never a big fan of the All or Nothing Game. It is not an appealing game.
