I hope someone had the foresight to combine all of the lottery's web sites into the new one. 4 sites (lucke-zone.com, nclottery.com, nc-educationlottery.org and lotterync.net) to maintain is not efficient at all. You have to pay for 4 domain names and additional software licenses and maintain multiple servers which increases overall IT costs. That's like having 4 dishwashers; 1 for plates, 1 for silverware, 1 for pots & pans, and 1 for cups and glasses.NC Lottery
When our new website launches, everything will live under the nclottery.com address. For a time, the old URL's will simply redirect to the primary address - those won't "wash any dishes" - they will just "point to the dishwasher." A lot has changed since late 2005 when the original team got the lottery off the ground and since the players' club was originally conceived :-)

Hey if you win you can adopt me and my family we would love to be part of your fortune maybe ????

8/05/2017 06:34 - michael e.

Sorry for my recent post ,didn't mean to offend anyone congratulations to all winners.

8/03/2017 08:07 - michael e.

Why is it all you folks think about is winning a lottery ? What is it about a lottery that makes people put their money into it and probably lose it all,Well I can tell you its not please put your money into money market accounts or invest into stocks you will gain more and more there .. NC Lottery
You are welcome to express opinions in favor of or critical of the lottery, but please avoid directing remarks at other players that could be considered rude, they may not be published. We encourage people to play for fun knowing it takes luck to be one of the lucky ones to beat the odds to win a prize.

8/03/2017 05:23 - Mike S.

LZ - nclottery.com is a redirect to nc-educationlottery.org which is the official site. Don't think it's a good idea to send folks to a redirect as it may introduce confusion for those less savy with the interweb. Just sayin'.NC Lottery
We set up the redirect because we're in the final stage of putting together our new mobile-friendly website that will live under the primary nclottery.com URL. The longer nc-educationlottery.org URL will get phased out.

Is there a way on the app to tell how many prizes are left to be awarded for scratch off tickets? NC Lottery
Hi there Carolina Girl! At this time, that information is not available through the Rewards app. But, the good news is that information is updated on our website every day. A new mobile-friendly version of our website is in the works. But you can still go to nclottery.com, click on Games and choose Instant Games, and then click on any game to scroll down to see a table of all the prizes at every level still out there. Good luck!

If anybody got issue with identity verification pin number NC Lottery
Hey there Anna. If you are having problems, please either click on the HELP link at the top of the Lucke-Zone to fill out an ONLINE SUPPORT form, or if it's something on the main website, email playerinfo@lotterync.net to report it so that tech support/web staff can be aware if users are experiencing a widespread issue. You can also call technical customer service at 855-767-1863. Hope this helps!

8/03/2017 10:10 - Tony T.

what is JOHILL04 talking about ? Scared me, I just checked my points not used yet and they are thankfully still there. NC Lottery
Hey NotSharon. JOHILL04 had a question about the note on the Points History page that states: "Current points history dates back to January 1, 2017. Points earned before that time will be available shortly."

8/03/2017 08:32 - jim h.

congrats to all,any way well everget total points for lucky rewards back thanksNC Lottery
Hey there Johill04. Great question! We are currently looking into this issue. There was a reason why we needed to limit that data in the short term. When the issue is resolved, we will let the players know. Have a great day!

8/02/2017 06:24 - phil s.

hi i was wondering something they say for every 4 tickets theres a winner i find that not so a friend bought 9 30 dollars scratch off didnt win nothing how do yall exsplain that thats alot of money to buy 9 tickets that high and not win something in my area we buy tickets and no money won here i know there printed but you would think out of 9 tickets you win something just my thought thanksNC Lottery
Hey there Phil. It takes luck to win any prizes, big or small. Even though the odds are 1 in 4, that doesn't mean that every fourth ticket is a winner. 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. Sometimes, all you need is one ticket to win. All instant games are audited before and after the game to ensure the game is as advertised. Hope this helps!

Lord when? When? I'm growing old and broke playing this lottery and nothing yet. I'm praying my numbers are next.

Thats not fair i have been playing the same cash5 numbers for years.Where my jackpot winningNC Lottery
Hey there. It takes luck to win the lottery. The factors of winning in a drawing are always how many entries you make and chance. You can speak with our gaming integrity manager about how the specifics of how the random number generator works by email (playerinfo@lotterync.net) and make that request so that our staff can get in touch with you. Hope this helps!

8/02/2017 02:23 - Daniel S.

previous blog says, Marcas Savvas of Thomasville won the fourth and final top prize in the $400,000 Bonus Cash game. But in the video he shouts " I'm from Asheboro. *** Who says no won from Asheboro ever wins. Just saw some one from Asheboro finally claimed the powerball cruise 2nd chance drawing..NC Lottery
Thomasville is a small town about 25 miles from Asheboro. It's probably like someone from Monroe telling people they're from Charlotte because it's easier than explaining its a small place near a better-known place :)

Been playing 10yrs.The largest i ever won was $200.My children are grown up now,i suppose i can stop "donating"to the education fund.It's no need to financially hurt yourself when the truth is everyone can't strike a GREAT HIT,or strike it RICH!"GONNA GIVE IT UP",if something doesn't change SOON.NC Lottery
Hey Red. It does take luck to win any prize, big or small. The lottery truly does support education, earning an average of $1.7 million a day just for education this past fiscal year. You can see more on our website:http://www.nc-educationlottery.org/beneficiary.aspx.

Hey LZ. Will there ever be any chance of adding Pick3 and Pick4 to the subscription service? Some people wish to play those games, and are not able to purchase direct from a retailer be it transportation or conflicting work schedule. Thanks in advance. NC Lottery
Hello there! At this time, the lottery commission that oversees our operations has approved ticket sales through subscription services only for the jackpot games and Lucky for Life. But it is possible that will change in the future. If it does, we'll let everyone know right away.

What time are the lucky rewards drawings on their draw dates? Are the lucky rewards drawings viewable via live stream or any other method? I am confused. NC Lottery
Hey there Ryan. Currently, we do not offer live streams of the drawings. The Lucke-Rewards and second-chance drawings are scheduled for certain days and are held when drawing security and audit staff are available to follow specific procedures to conduct the random drawings. Some days there are more drawings than others. Then there are the daily drawings and other responsibilities that those teams have to take care of. We always do our best to respond to questions on social media. But the primary source for answers to questions is to call our customer service team at 877-962-7529 between 8 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Hope this clarifies things for you!

So how do we know the 2nd chance are fair. How are winners selected?NC Lottery
Hey there, Jtr0865. Great question! Second-chance drawings use a random number generator according to specific security procedures. To make sure everything is fair, an auditor is present at all lottery drawings and all the lottery’s security practices are independently reviewed on a regular basis. The more entries you make into a drawing, the more chances you have to win. But having even just one entry in a drawing gives you a chance to win. Hope this helps!

8/01/2017 07:02 - Jeff G.

It's great to hear about the good fortune of others. It will be AWESOME when I'm the one holding the next big check.

I been playing since the lottery started in North Carolina and most I won was $50. I give playing for a very long time. NC Lottery
Good morning. All the games take a combination of chance and luck to win. We wish every ticket could be a winning ticket. But with games of chance, prize money comes from tickets that don't win prizes. So it'll always take luck to beat the odds and get a lucky ticket. We always encourage people to play for fun, knowing it takes luck to beat the odds and win a prize big or small.
