Video: Longtime Panthers fan wins season tickets for 20 years

February 9, 2017 Posted by NC Lottery at 11:31 AM

Pamela Jamison of Dallas says she feels like she’s scored a touchdown after winning a pair of Panthers season tickets for 20 years.

“I’ve been cheering for the Panthers ever since they started,” Jamison said.

Jamison, the head cook at a truck stop, won the tickets after she entered the Carolina Panthers second-chance drawing.

“When I entered my tickets, I kept telling my husband, ‘Wouldn’t it be something if I won,’” Jamison said.

Her entry was drawn from more than 500,000. When Jamison found out she won, she let out a big cheer.

“I couldn’t believe it was me,” Jamison said.

Starting this upcoming season, Jamison will use the tickets to start a new tradition.

“I’ve got a lot of family who are football fans,” Jamison said. “So I’ll take them with me.”

This once-in-a-lifetime prize was part of the state’s first Carolina Panthers ticket. Other players also had big wins, including four who won $200,000 instantly, and one who won a VIP game experience at a Bank of America Stadium suite to share with 15 friends.

@ 87SUPERGLIDE - We apologize for getting this wrong in our answers here on the blog. We should have researched the answer instead of making assumptions based on what we saw on the website. We have fixed the blog. Again. Thank you for keeping us on our toes so that we get good information to people. It's our job to do our best to share reliable information with players. This mistake could have been easily avoided.

LZ - there was only 3 $200k prizes at the start of the game. Here is the link to the brochure http://www.nc-educationlottery.org/uploads/docs/htp511.pdf that shows 3 top prizes. Also the prize count and remaining prizes was updated on the web site on Sept 12th to reflect the additional top prizes and as of today it still says 4 top prizes. Here are the $200k winners: William Jones, Charlene Lewis, Aleta Turner and Daytona Keeling. Here is the link, http://www.nc-educationlottery.org/news/2016/12/29/Carolina-Panthers-ticket-turns-into-200000-stocking-stuffer--, to the press release that says "Jones won the last of four top prizes of $200,000. With the last prize won, the lottery will begin steps to end the game." There was no 5th $200k prize.

Just found out the results today in the Holiday Second Chance drawing. Out of the over 3,500 entries I submitted......NOTHING! Not even an honorable mention. 3,500 chances out of the over six million entries. The Lucke Rewards program is not as lucky after all. There is no love for those that really contribute to win. I'll be cancelling my membership here. I can think of better things to do with my hard earned money.NC Lottery
There were more than 6.6 million total entries. Anyone with even one entry in the drawing had a chance to win. We wish everyone could win a prize in the drawings.

LZ - there were only 4 $200k prizes, not 8. The original game had 3 and the reorder added 1 more $200k prize. And there was only a partial reorder, the original game had 876,966 prizes and the reorder added 271,410 additional prizes.NC Lottery
CORRECTION: Sorry about the mistake. The blog's author assumed, incorrectly, that the game had been completely reordered, a fact that should have been verified before publishing. Thank you for pointing out the mistake so that the blog could be updated with accurate information.

How come my email is always getting bounced? I will receive your emails for a few weeks then back to being bounced. NC Lottery
The blog moderators are not sure why your email client is treating messages from the lottery that way. It could be something with your SPAM settings. Sorry we don't have any more information about that.

Congratulations Pam,I'm happy for you my friend

Why do the scratch off games not disclose that the odds of winning is actually based on the odds of buying a winning scratch off ticket. Since all tickets do not have a chance to win any prize, a player has 0% chance for any non-winning ticket. NC Lottery
The lottery 100% absolutely discloses the odds of winning playing instant scratch-off games. The lottery does not promise that a particular scratch off ticket will win a prize. The odds of winning a prize playing an instant game are set when all of the millions of tickets are printed. It takes luck to beat the odds and win a prize. Good luck to you.

So there are eight winners for the $200000?NC Lottery
CORRECTION: There were actually four total top prize winners in the game, and we have fixed the blog accordingly. The game started with three top prizes of $200,000. The game was so popular it was partially re-ordered with more prizes. So the game ultimately had four total top prizes of $200,000. You can read some of the winner's stories here: http://bit.ly/2lvlhov

How many approximate entries are there for the quick cash second chance drawings. The one where 10 people win 500 dollars.NC Lottery
We will get a report on the total # of entries for that drawing on Monday, after the Sunday midnight entry deadline.

why is it you only pay $5.00 for 3 numbers on a Cash FiveNC Lottery
Thanks for the question. Every lottery game is built differently. Cash 5 is designed so that 60.54% of the prize pool goes to the jackpot. 12% goes to matching 4/5 and 8.4% goes to matching 3/5. So however many players match 3/5 split 8.4% of the prize pool.

Awesome!

Nice !!! Glad to see the tickets go to a true fan. I believe Dallas is a small town in Gaston County not too far from the stadium. I foresee many tail gate parties in their future.
