One of the lottery's specialties is big draw games. And for the entire month of May, a special promotion called The Works offers you a big deal: Four draw games for the price of three.

Just ask for "The Works" at any lottery retailer and you'll get a Quick Pick ticket for Powerball, Cash 5, Lucky for Life and Mega Millions all for $5.

You can take advantage of this promotion from May 1-31. If you get The Works, we hope you get lucky, too!

Has anyone won from playing the works? NC Lottery
Hi there, JC18! Sure, we've had winners in all four draw games when they purchased "The Works"

5/05/2017 02:39 - Ralph D.

I think I will try the works. Something good might happen. I have a question about the entry games, to win do you go by number of entries or random selection?

5/05/2017 07:47 - James S.

it is strange they ended the 4,000,000 payout $20 ticket with 2 top prizes and one 1,000,000 prize still remaining this was one of my favorites yet when the odds get better for us the game ends.can yu explain thi s please. NC Lottery
Hi there, AAtarheel. We are not sure what you mean? The $4,000,000 Platinum Payout $20 ticket is still active! Two top prizes remain and three 1,000,000 prizes remain.

5/04/2017 07:06 - Thom B.

Are we supposed to get excited about saving a whole dollar if we buy "The Works"? Thanks NC Lottery, you spoil us.

5/02/2017 11:38 - Tony T.

@87SUPERGLIDE...thanks so much ! I need to move to your area . :)

5/02/2017 08:25 - Randy T.

Well....for people who always play "regular" tickets this saves them $1. I ALWAYS do PowerPlay and Megaplier so this doesn't work well for me. But for all the people who play regular tickets it's always good to save a buck.... ;) GOOD LUCK to ALL Players!!!

5/02/2017 08:24 - Denver G.

I love seeing that message ****** Congratulations, your lottery ticket just won. Then going to subscriptions & seeing the ticket you got the day before has already paid for it's self and a few bucks have been put in your online wallet. That "works" for me, thanks LZ.

5/02/2017 08:23 - Dennis C.

I am often times critical of the lottery and I have my reasons at those time but I will also applaud them when it is due. The new $20 card seems to have improved in the odds. First time in several years I have seen odds improve on a new card. It is loaded on the bottom so players won’t be as frustrated as with similar offerings. You can win a little to keep you interested while you go for the big money. Maybe the NCEL has been listening to us after all. I believe the NCEL will realize this was as profitable of a move as they could have made and if they continue this trend they will see revenues increase at a greater rate. The public is very astute and we pay close attention to the goings on at the NCEL. Many kudos for bringing out a card with improved odds. NC Lottery
We are glad you like the new game! We like that our players are interested in us, because we do listen to our players. Happy scratchin'!

5/02/2017 08:21 - Marius G.

Amen

5/02/2017 07:55 - Elasa L.

Is there any way to do this if I pick my own numbers? NC Lottery
Hi there, Lasy. "The Works" only 'works' if you do quick pick! Hope that helps :)

5/02/2017 07:34 - perry w.

that promotion sounds great let get on

5/02/2017 06:17 - Victoria W.

I read this promotion before I left for work yesterday morning. I went to the store late that afternoon and asked the cashier about "The Works" The cashier was confused and said I have no idea what you are talking about. I left without purchasing The Works. NC Lottery
Sorry MissV that you didn't get good customer service. Lots of The Works tickets were sold across the state Monday so it appears to be working OK elsewhere. If you would share the location where you tried to make your purchase, the lottery will reach out to the store and share additional training on the promotion.

5/02/2017 06:04 - Mike S.

Notsharon, I'm playing $200M Blowout. Odds look good for a major prize. Tix in my area have been paying out about 60% of the time. Got 4 the other day and all 4 were winners. Good luck!

5/02/2017 02:41 - Jessica B.

I have a question. When you scan tickets in, why do some give you more points than others? Like for example, you have 2 losing 10 dollar tickets, but when you scan them, one gives you 10 points while the other gives you 50. Just curious. NC Lottery
Hi there, Jessigrady22. It's a good question, and one we would be happy to answer! Like playing the lottery, how many points a ticket is worth is a matter of luck. Here’s how it works. Draw tickets are worth between one and five times the ticket price in reward points. So a $2 draw ticket is worth between 2 and 10 points. Instant tickets are worth between one and 10 times the ticket price in reward points. That makes a $5 instant ticket worth between 5 and 50 points. Hope that helps!

5/02/2017 01:49 - Melvin W.

When will the winners for 10x Quick Cash be revealed or notified? NC Lottery
The drawing for the last ‘10X The Cash’ promotion is scheduled for Wednesday, May 3. Winners of second-chance drawings are typically notified within 48 hours after the date of the draw. Lucky winners will be notified by email. If a winner does not respond to the email notification, we will call or send certified mail. Remember, you can view the winner’s page here:https://rewards.lucke-zone.com/drawings. It’s updated when the winner claims their prize.

5/02/2017 12:41 - Ellyn H.

This will be lots of Fun I'm ready to play!!!!

5/02/2017 12:03 - William B. C.

New tonthia have not learn how to apply my points. NC Lottery
Hi William and welcome! Click the "Enter Drawing" button for the drawing you would like to enter. Then select the number of entries you would like and click "Submit Entries." Review your request and click "Submit Entry." You will see a confirmation page and also receive an email confirmation. You can request as many drawing entries as you want, provided you have enough points. There is also a HELP page on the Lucke-Zone website that answers your question and many more! You can check it out here: https://www.lucke-zone.com/Help.aspx.

5/01/2017 10:45 - Arcenia E.

I would like to try my luck!!!

5/01/2017 10:14 - Marianne O.

That's great

5/01/2017 10:05 - Deborah H.

Do the entries for extreme millions get carried over to the next drawing or does it start again anew and previous entries get discarded after this drawing? NC Lottery
Hi there Pinki. Entries do not carry over in this second-chance promotion. Any entries made after 11:59 p.m. on April 30 have been entered into the second drawing. Any entries before that time period have been entered into the first drawing. Hope that helps!

5/01/2017 09:37 - Beverly J.

I am glad to see so many games, a great variety

5/01/2017 08:34 - TERESSA C.

Can you powerplay When you purchase The Works? NC Lottery
You can always Power Play if you buy a separate ticket, but you cannot add it onto "The Works" promotion.

5/01/2017 07:44 - Tony T.

UCKE-ZONE REPLIED Depends on how you classify serious dough! In March, 30 points got you a shot at $20,000. The good news is that a new month means new promotions. If you don’t see something you like, you can always hold on to your points until a promotion you really want to win!********** That March deal...and most before... is seriously better than 25 points for a shot at 2,500 ( winnings gone wild ) or 30 points for a shot at 5,000. ( spring green ) :)

5/01/2017 07:34 - Tami W.

I got "the works" on my way home...very cool!

5/01/2017 07:33 - Rita W.

Ok....I may try this one. I haven't been lucky in a while......

5/01/2017 07:32 - Myrtle L.

Thank you. Im not that lucky through I wish maybe i will get one im so tired of losing

5/01/2017 07:27 - Alfie R.

Woohoo

5/01/2017 06:27 - Elizabeth C.

Went to several gas stations excited about the new game and pretty sad when the employees don't have a clue of what's going on and couldn't sell me a ticket. After the 3rd Gas Station finally someone knew, 3's a charm. Hope it's my ticket ??NC Lottery
Good morning, Eliza. We hate to hear that it took three tries to complete your purchase. If you would like to share the names of the stores where employees did not know how to sell The Works tickets, the lottery can contact the stores and provide more information. Good luck in the drawings.

5/01/2017 05:50 - Ray M.

So I have to pay at least $5.00 .Why not 3 picks for $2.00? NC Lottery
Hi there! That's just the way The Works, 'works!' :) But thank you for the suggestion!

5/01/2017 04:33 - Jane C.

Yeah I will try it out!!

5/01/2017 03:55 - William D.

How about that EXTREME Drawing, how many now for the drawing on Wednesday? NC Lottery
Hey there, Winner2b. There were 1,035,178 entries in the first Extreme Millions Second-Chance drawing.

5/01/2017 02:31 - Tony T.

@turbo and/or 87...throw this dog a bone, will ya ? :)

5/01/2017 02:28 - Michael R.

Get Lucky

5/01/2017 02:24 - Tony T.

ya'll have really gone up on the amount of points it takes to win a prize here, my points are sooo hard to come by . Used to be 25-30 points could give us a shot at some relatively serious dough, no more since winnings gone wild it seems. :( NC Lottery
Depends on how you classify serious dough! In March, 30 points got you a shot at $20,000. The good news is that a new month means new promotions. If you don’t see something you like, you can always hold on to your points until a promotion you really want to win!

5/01/2017 02:04 - Alechia M.

That is a awesome deal I'm on my to my lottery retailer

5/01/2017 12:13 - Ericka M.

Wow! What a great deal!

5/01/2017 11:59 - Janet B.

If I could only win $1000 I could go back to work. Wish me luck!

5/01/2017 11:24 - Willie A.

Okay thanks

5/01/2017 10:57 - Phyllis R.

PBRIDGILL said that sounds good, I'll get one today, that's A BIG DEAL, A GREAT DEAL!!!!!

5/01/2017 10:55 - Larry H.

Very good idea to day!

5/01/2017 10:44 - ELLA R.

I assume the works ticket is only for a one time draw for that week. Please clarify..... NC Lottery
Each time you purchase "The Works," those tickets are for each specific game's next draw. For example: If you purchased "The Works" today, your Mega Millions ticket would be for tomorrow's drawing. Your Powerball ticket would be for Wednesday's drawing. Hope that helps clarify!

5/01/2017 10:21 - Marie W.

Just purchased mine I hope I win

5/01/2017 09:33 - John S.

Went to Subscriptions, selected the blue box, got error message, "trouble adding to cart." NC Lottery
Without actually seeing your account, it's hard to determine the problem. But it sounds like you are trying to add a game to your cart without having any money in your wallet. Give our technical customer service folks a call so someone can talk you through it: 1-855-767-1863

5/01/2017 08:59 - Denver G.

On 5/01/2017 08:14, DNH said Tried it and it doesn't work on the website***** DNH, after clicking on subscriptions, just click on the little blue tab/banner that says "purchase now". It's right below the bigger blue banner that promotes The Works.

5/01/2017 08:39 - terry f.

Yowza,i love it!! So how about charging a extra buck to POWER-UP the lucky for life game!! that WORKS for me!! AND my friends think so too. while your at it a !0 or 20 dollar scratch with out million dollar prizes would sell a lot faster!!

5/01/2017 08:26 - Denver G.

I just purchased The Works thru subscriptions. It took less the 2 minutes. That included wallet deposit, making the purchase after updating my cart a few times. Best part I got 20 points for my $5 purchase & didn't have to enter a 25 digit code off 4 different tickets. Oh yea, I didn't have to go out in the rain either. Thank you LZ.

5/01/2017 08:14 - David H.

Tried it and it doesn't work on the website. NC Lottery
Hi there, DNH. To utilize "The Works" promotion, you need to go to the subscription page and select the blue box at the top for "The Works." That is the only way you can particpiate through subscription. Adding all the games individually does not work.

5/01/2017 05:43 - Troy R.

Can you buy "The Works" with the Power Ball and Mega Ball? NC Lottery
Are you referring to Power Play and Megaplier? If so, "The Works" is just for the normal game, not the extra feature. We hope that helps!

5/01/2017 05:06 - Donna D.

What a WONDERFUL promotion!

5/01/2017 03:48 - Ward E.

"The Works" works for me! Thank you NCEL.

5/01/2017 02:51 - rubina f.

great game hopefully they will pick me a good ticket. hope the works do work in my favor,good luck

5/01/2017 02:08 - Quadrey R.

Wow! This is amazing and I can't wait to purchase The Works!! Thanks NCEL!!

5/01/2017 01:46 - charles m.

Its just a way to get draw Game sells up, THATS because ticket Sells are down In NC. Only because People are buying more scratch Tickets.

5/01/2017 01:34 - Mary H.

It's not very appealing to me. It is a money maker for the lottery because you get people to spend more money thinking they are getting something free when 99.9% of them won't win anything. You encourage players to pay the extra dollar to multiply their ticket so you to should make it a Power Play & Megaplier. So how will that effect how much the games increase in winnings when there is no winner? Powerball & Lucky For Life get $4.00 out of the $5.00 so does that mean the Cash 5 & Mega Millions will only increase half as much as it normally would?

5/01/2017 01:21 - Gary M.

What about choosing Power Play, Multiplier, or EZ Match. Will you still be able to choose those and get all 4 for the price of 3? NC Lottery
Hi there! "The Works" promotion is just for the regular tickets, not the added Power Plan, Megaplier, or EZ Match. Hope this helps!

5/01/2017 12:48 - Mathew M.

Hey LZ! You know the time has come for me to ask my weekly question. Can you please tell us how many entries are in for the final 10X quick cash for the month, and also for the monthly drawing? I appreciate it as always!! Thank you! NC Lottery
Hey there, Falkor. There were 306,285 entries for 10X Quick Cash and 1,056,839 entries for the Winning Gone Wild montly drawing!

4/30/2017 11:49 - Donetta W.

Goodluck everybody

4/30/2017 11:45 - Kimberly W.

Very nice.....very nice.....

4/30/2017 11:45 - Elizabeth C.

4/30/2017 10:51 - Phyllis N.

I do like this new promo, it works for me. Lucky 4 Life and Cash 5 are my favorite draw games, & I mostly quick pick anyway. This is a great idea.

4/30/2017 10:37 - mary d.

Awesome

4/30/2017 09:35 - jacqueline l.

How does that work when cash 5 and megamillions are $1 each and the other two are $2 each. NC Lottery
That's part of the promotion! The regular price points or the games are as follows: Powerball = $2, Cash 5 = $1, Mega Millions = $1, Lucky for Life = $2, which equals $6. With "The Works" promotion, you get all the games for $5. Hope that helps!

4/30/2017 09:30 - robert t.

Can you add the power play and megaplyer to the works? NC Lottery
Hi Dustwel! No, you cannot add it to "The Works" but you can always buy separate draw game tickets with the extra feature!

4/30/2017 09:20 - Jonathan A.

Lucky

4/30/2017 08:42 - Anthony D.

On the works,is that a power play, megaplier, and an ez-match ,or, are they regular tickets? NC Lottery
Just the regular tickets!

4/30/2017 08:35 - gloria c.

I hope i win something

4/30/2017 05:28 - Schmeka w.

Great

4/30/2017 04:24 - Denver G.

My plan/strategy for working this promo w/o spending a lot is...Online buying -"The Works" on Mondays & Thursdays, and a cash5 on Tue. Wed. Fri. Sat. & Sun.. Then repeat each week. Sounds simple & inexpensive , only $15 a week & you'll be in every drawing all week long. The reason for the online purchase, entry codes are automatically entered & you don't have to check your numbers or worry about losing the tickets. If you win any amount you get an email.

4/30/2017 04:15 - Michael B.

I believe this is great idea I can't speak for everyone but I go to store daily to play different games some days it can be hassle trying get to store or meeting the time deadline. I hope NCEL continues to help its players save and play NC Lottery
We are so glad you like it! Hope you have fun playing, and good luck to you!

4/30/2017 04:01 - Lorrie A.

Can you powerplay? NC Lottery
You can always Power Play, but the "The Works" promotion is just for the regular ticket.

4/30/2017 03:49 - Gregory F.

I might the works I have not won anything yet my be my blessing is on the way in Ahoskie era. I could use a big win or help me in retirement good luck to all.because I can't win with scratch off tickets so I might give it a try.

4/30/2017 03:46 - Schafner H.

$5 is the regular price for those games, is this a mistake, or a trick? NC Lottery
Hey there! The regular price points or the games are as follows: Powerball = $2, Cash 5 = $1, Mega Millions = $1, Lucky for Life = $2, which equals $6. With "The Works" promotion, you get all the games for $5. Hope that helps!

4/30/2017 03:40 - Michael R.

I hope we can all win

4/30/2017 03:33 - Willie B.
