Walking Dead scratch-off tickets are so scary they’re fun!

October 2, 2017 Posted by NC Lottery at 9:19 AM

As we head into the Halloween season, the best way to feel alive is to just play dead.  And you can do that with the new Walking Dead scratch-off ticket.

The $2 ticket features scenes from the popular AMC TV series, and offers ten top prizes of $20,000. But that’s not all, players can enter their tickets into four second-chance drawings to win a five-day, four-night trip for two to Los Angeles to see the taping of the “Talking Dead.” The prize includes airfare, a hotel stay, plus $1,000 in spending money. 

Approximate overall odds of winning, including break even prizes, are one in 4.48. Approximate odds to win the top prize is one in 540,000. Odds of winning the second-chance drawing depend on how many entries we receive.

Players will see more than zombies this First Tuesday. They’ll also see the new “$50 Or $100” scratch-off ticket. The $10 ticket offers over $30 million in prizes. There are 169,200 prizes of $100 and 288,000 prizes of $50. And get this, your chance of winning one of those prizes is better than one in 9.45.

If you’re looking for more chances to win, the Queen of Hearts scratch-off ticket does just that. The $5 ticket gives you 12 chances to win on the front plus five more on the back.  The game has seven top prizes of $200,000.

Approximate overall odds of winning including break even prizes, are one in 4.08. Odds of winning a top prize are one in 1.2 million.

And finally, Lady Luck is paying a visit as a new $1 scratch-off ticket. The game offers eight top prizes of $1,000. If you reveal a “Luck” symbol, you’ll win the prize shown for that symbol. If you reveal a clover symbol, you’ll win $25 instantly.

Odds of winning a top are one in 1,020,000. Approximate overall odds of winning including break even prizes, are one in 4.80.  

Good luck with the new games, and happy haunting!

Sounds like some of the ones playing the scratch offs need to quit playing with so much money into it they lose too much money that could go to other things .NC Lottery
Hey, Hamofaguy. The lottery's advice to everyone is to play for fun with money set aside for entertainment purposes.

10/15/2017 07:36 - michael e.

Again I buy 2 power ball tickets for sats draw and not even one number comes up, I tell you the truth I am not going to use quick picks any more sure way to not win right my luck has not been good lately.

I agree with Ardra’s post on 10/11/17! At least give us some clues as to which counties have a greater chance of holding the big bucks!$$$ NC Lottery
Actually, the lottery works to ensure the random distribution of winning tickets so that no matter where someone lives they have a chance of winning the big bucks.

Getting discouraged :(

I entered several Walking Dead tickets. The number went in but I did not receive any points. I didn't keep them because I thought maybe that was the way it supposed to be. Now what??? Did I lose those points???NC Lottery
If you call 1-855-767-1863, someone should be able to help you figure out what's going on.

10/11/2017 06:32 - ardra l.

I been playing for along time. I never seen on here anybody winning in Vance County. Look like my little town is over looked on first chance and second chance.

I have been a lucky zone member since it started. Unfortunately I no longer can purchase on line since the group running based out of Las Vegas I had just put 20.00 in my account and since I couuld not be geo located and they had no clue what was going on I ask for a refund and scientific games stopped me from purchasing on line. O well there lost the local retailers do appreciate my purchases. NC Lottery
All you need in order to buy online tickets for draw games is to be based in North Carolina at the time of purchase. Our operations are not based in Las Vegas. Sometimes the app can have difficulty GEO-locating someone. If you're having difficulty you can always call 1-855-767-1863

I'm having trouble today doing ticket entry in Lucke-Zone. Response is "The system is currently unavailable. Thanks for your patience." I cleared my cache and still can't get tickets to enter- have tried PBall, Cash 5 and Lucky for Life- sent in an online help ticket but just wondering if anyone else is having issues?NC Lottery
Thanks for letting us know! We're checking to see if this is a widespread issue for players. In the meantime, you can submit an online help form under the "help" section of the site. You can also call 1-855-767-1863 and someone should be able to help you figure out what's going on.

The only thing scary about your new game, Spooky Bucks, is the amount of money that players will lose! Boo hoo!

Who won X The Cash Second Chance... NC Lottery
You can view a list of winners for the drawing by going to the "winners" section of the page. Make sure the drop-down menu next to the list of second-chance drawings says "All" and you should be able to see who won.

NC Lottery
[2 of 2]Also, the lottery introduces 4 to 5 instant games per month. We offer different games each month because players enjoy different types of games and players asked for a game just like this. We have an obligation to have games available that players want to play and to sustain sales and earnings to meet our commitment to the state. So even if someone doesn't enjoy or like one game, there is always another option.

10/06/2017 12:58 - Ivy C.

NC Lottery
[1 of 2] Hi there, CWDavis. The odds of winning on a scratch-off ticket are for the entire printing run of the game. Each time you buy a ticket, you have to beat the odds in order to win a prize. Buying multiple tickets is never a guarantee of winning, and we do not encourage or want players to buy packs of tickets at one time. It just takes one ticket to win. All instant games are audited before and after the game to ensure the game is as advertised.

10/06/2017 11:38 - Chris A.

"50 or 100" is OK, but I like the "500 Flash" $10 game that SC has, because if you have to go 13 tickets to find a WIN which is the case on this new $10 game we have you are still LOSING! That game will really make a difference. So here we go new game that you can WIN $10 to $500 an you can make a winning ticket come more often....This current game I have seen at least 5 bad runs where you had to purchase 13 to 17 losing tickets to WIN a $50. NCEL you are trying, but still are not there yet.

10/06/2017 11:02 - Clarence D.

bought #6 through #18 and #24 through #29 of the new $50 / $100 scratch off tickets out of the same pack won nothing don't think there were any winners in the whole pack, is this fair?????? NC Lottery
Please see our full response above

10/06/2017 09:41 - Ivy C.

NC Lottery
Hey there, Better. With games of chance in North Carolina or anywhere else, there is never a guarantee of winning more than you wager, and North Carolina games have a pay out at a higher rate now than they ever have before. So it's important to play for fun knowing it takes luck to win a prize. We wish every ticket could win a prize, but prize money comes from non-winning tickets. All of our practices are independently reviewed and audited to ensure fairness to all players. We hope your next ticket is a lucky one. We hope your next ticket is a lucky one.

To the commenters for the new $50 or $100 ticket. ...I buy a lot of scratch offs. Won 2 prizes that called for a road trip. So far on this ticket I have won $450 buying only 3 tickets per purchase. In total I have bought 103 tickets all from different stores in my small town. I just scratch a $50 prize so that's $500 now. Most of the time I'm just playing my tickets back. Now as far as how the ticket prize is presented ($10, $20) it is a way to win. One of my tickets had 10 $10 prizes =$100. One had a combination of $10 and $20 that equal $100. One had 2 $50 instant wins. And 2 were $100. Many of you say you don't like it but it's only been out a couple of days. Give it a chance, switch stores if you don't win after spending $30 or $40. Sometimes I go ask the cashier if people been winning off a ticket before I buy them. This works because sometime it's just a bad roll. Hope this helps. Play to win:)

10/05/2017 01:06 - RONALD R.

Extremely disappointed with the new $10 dollar ticket, "$50 and $100". Even with the odds, if a buyer buys a book of 30, would be extremely lucky to win $200, if that much. Whoever came up with idea for this ticket, was wrong. I will not buy anymore, and recommend to others not to buy also.

10/04/2017 10:48 - bryan h.

Please do respond to this . Shoulda named these new ones scratching dead, NCEL winning percentage is the worst in the nation , why is that. Woulda been a great name for these because that is what people will be doing scratching dead.Losing their $$$$$$ like always. And this 50 or 100 game lol what a joke , telling ppl they will have a 1 in 10 chance of winning 50 or 100 lol.Just like all the $5 games u had tht said loaded with 500$ winners lol , another NCEL joke.The number of these $5 tickets I've bought , prolly totaled up to a whole pack and never come close to winning 500$lol.Thts hilarious, not falling for anymore of NCEL traps, everytime I want to buy tickets I will just start putting tht $ up.At the end of year I will see what it adds up to.

How much does the lottery have to pay for using the Walking Dead to use their name on the lottery ticket NC Lottery
Hi there. Your question requires research because there are a lot of moving parts blog moderators do not know about :) We suggest emailing Player.Info@lotterync.net that way someone can work with you directly and answer your question in its entirety.

10/04/2017 06:22 - Lavanda H.

Has the September 5 lucky winners been picked yet? Just wondering...do Computer pick these winners of does a person hand pick like from a box or something lol ?? the anxiety Good luck players!!! NC Lottery
No worries, Lavanda! That's why we are here. Winners are selected by a secure draw via computer, not by hand in a box! :) Winners are typically notified within 48 hours after a draw. If you win, you will receive an email first. So be on the lookout. Good luck!

10/04/2017 05:32 - RONALD R.

Wanted to comment on the new "$50 and $100" ten dollar scratch off. I do not like it. A buyer can only win $50 or $100 dollars on these tickets. Why are there amounts printed on tickets of $10 and $20 dollars. This is misleading to the buyers of this ticket. Most people when they purchase a ticket, they figure at least they have a chance of winning back the face value of the ticket. Yes the chance for this ticket is 5 to 10 times their original investment, but the odds of their winning are not even fair also. Back says odds to win overall are 1:9 something. To win $100 dollars back states odds 1:25:53 to win. For someone to hopefully win a top prize of $100 dollars they need to buy a whole book which is 30 tickets. That is $300 to purchase a book, and hope to win at least $100. Not a good purchase for the ticket. Personally, I will not buy any of these tickets and will encourage others I talk with not to also. Sorry, but whoever came up with the idea of this ticket was definitely wrong.

I actually saw someone redeem a 500 dollar walking dead winner. It does happen, but not for me!

Is it possible to be there in person to watch the numbers drawn for pick 3 and pick 4. Is there a location we can go look at these Numbers drawn. I think that would help if it was open to the public to watch in person they pick three and four numbers when thee are drawn. NC Lottery
Hi there. The draws are absolutely open to the public. The drawings take place at WRAL studios in Raleigh. You will be able to see the whole process. It does take more than an hour. You can call our security team here to talk with them about attending: 1-888-732-6235.

Looks like the Extreme Millions $10M ticket was sold at the Fairway One Stop #20 in High Point. No story on the winner has been published but it was claimed on Sept. 29. NC Lottery
Hi there, 87SuperGlide. As you know, this was a big prize. We care about our players, so we wanted to make sure they knew exactly what to expect and prepare for. We give them the same advice we give jackpot winners because it is the largest instant ticket prize in the state of N.C. With that being said, we are holding a press conference at our Greensboro office today at 11 a.m. The winner will be there and will tell their story. We will be posting the video on our blog later today, but you can also watch it on our Facebook.

The lottery always uses odds as an excuse to why there are far few and between prize money/wins fact is that monthly gross ticket sale super exceed the amount of all prize wins for any set of scratch offs ...WHERE IS ALL THE REST OF THE PROFFITS GOING!? The lottery will not tell us exactly how many tickets are produced for one set of scratch offs let say like "$30 ultimate millions" and how many have been sold when its all said and done!? Lets see the true numbers!!! NC Lottery

I kinda wish the $50 or $100 scratch offs had a secound chance drawing. Because it will take 10 ten to possibly winning.

I have a question. If I win on a scratch off, can I still enter that one in the second chance drawing? Or if I enter it does that mean I can't cash it in? I guess what I'm asking is if you win the second chance prize do you have to have the scratch off ticket to claim the prize? Thank you. NC Lottery
Hi there. Great question! You do not have to keep the ticket once you have entered/scanned it into Lucke-Rewards.

10/03/2017 08:22 - connie b.

10/03/2017 06:05 - William D.

Based on the odds looks like NClottery will make about 30% on the $50 or $100 which is about par for gambling. Be nice if they would be extra nice to us and drop it to say mmmmmmm 15%. Just dreaming hehe. Still can not enter the tickets will try again later. Good Luck everyone

We cannot answer tax-related questions. But per law: prizes of $600.00 and above are subject to Debt Setoff collection by claimant agencies.

On Diamond Dazzler $5.00 tickets ,There are a lot of 5x$2.00 .When you buy 10 and one ticket has 5x$5.00 .you only loose $45.00 for that day .Same as Carolina Millions $10.00 tickets .Lots of $10.00 WINNERS .Buy 10 tickets .Win $10.00 dollars .You only $90.00 looser ...I have spent over a million in the past 10 years .Biggest win @1000.00 one time . NC Lottery
The lottery does not recommend playing by buying rolls or packs of tickets. You know, whether you’ve played 100 times before or never before, every time you play a game of chance it takes luck to beat the odds to win a prize big or small. We hope you’ll only play as long as you’re enjoying yourself and only playing with money you can afford to spend on entertainment. If you aren’t, then it might be time to take a break. We appreciate you as a player, but there are so many more things more important than lottery games.

The $50 or $100 scratch won't scan for points. NC Lottery
Hi there, Aggies. Thank you for reaching out and letting us know. We have shared this information and we have people looking into it right now. Is it just with scanning, or is it with entering tickets as well? We will keep you posted right here when we figure out what is going on.

Hi there, Frank. Thanks for reaching out to us. We try to make games fun for all players. Some players like smaller prizes, while others like to have a chance at a larger one.

No that didn't help I gross 35,000 a year and I was looking for the exact percentage you gave them to me before I think 25 on the Feds and 5.75 on the state I would like to the do the math myself one day help me out NC Lottery
Hi there, Cease. Hopefully this will help. It's 25% for federal and 5.499% for state.

Cool! I'm there.

10/03/2017 08:37 - ELLA R.

Am I correct to say the highest amount you can win on the new 10.00 ticket is 100.00? NC Lottery
Yes, you are correct. At the start of the game, there were 173,281 $100 prizes. As of this morning, there are 172,023 $100 prizes remaining.

10/03/2017 07:44 - Mike S.

LZ members think about the odds before playing the $50 or $100 game (#576). Odds are set a 1 in 9.45, almost 3 times higher than any $10 ticket issued and over 2 times higher than any $5 ticket issued - that should scare the dickins out of anyone who plays the lottery. The top prize is $100 and there is no break even prize so you either win or you don't. A little over 4.4 million tickets were printed and there are a little over 468 thousand prizes. Given their published odds, your chance of winning $100 is 0.0391% and winning $50 is 0.0667%. Buyer beware!

WoW, did I make a mistake, FIVE winners for September. Weeeeee waiting on Wednesday.

I like my odds on the drawing better than the Powerball or mega million. Still a long shot. One out of 1700. With four drawings (4 wins 10,000 each). makes the odds better down to (1 in 425). Good luck to all.

I was wondering what is with holding on state and federal taxes in North Carolina NC Lottery
Hi there. We withhold the minimum state and federal tax as a service to players. Say a player wins $10,000. We do not want them going home and spending all $10,000 because when tax season comes around, the government will want their fair share. So we go ahead and take that out so players do not have to worry about it. Again, we just withhold the minimum amount, so we always advise players to talk to a tax professional because we do not know which tax bracket everyone is in. Hope that helps!

Did you say 50.00 or a 100.00 dollar tickets NC Lottery
Hi, Jackie. The name of the game is "$50 or $100" but the cost of the game is only $10. It's named that way because there are over $30 million in $50 and $100 prizes! Hope that helps clarify!
