Time is running out for you to enter the first big drawings of the New Year! To make sure 2019 starts off with a bang, we’re giving away ten prizes of $2,019 in our Happy 2019! monthly drawing.

We also want to make sure 2019 has plenty of second chances, so we’re giving you two different chances to win $50,000.

You can enter any Holiday scratch off ticket into the final Holiday Second-Chance drawing. We’ll choose one winner of $50,000, five winners of $10,000, and 50 winners of $500.

And, multiply your fun by entering the final Multiply The Cash Second-Chance drawing. We’ll choose one winner of $50,000, two winners of $10,000, five winners of $5,000, and ten winners of $500.

You have until Thursday, Jan. 31 to enter these drawings. They’re scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 6.

If you’re looking for some “Quick Cash” after the holiday season, don’t forget to enter our final weekly drawing. 25 players will win $100.

And finally, if you’re a basketball fan, you don’t want to miss out on this. You could win a V.I.P. experience to watch the Charlotte Hornets take on the Toronto Raptors in April. If you win, you and a guest will get second row courtside seat tickets to the game. You’ll have access to the exclusive Crown Club. You’ll be able to watch pre-game warmups and attend the post-game press conference. As a bonus, you’ll receive hotel accommodations for the night of the game, an autographed jersey, and a $200 Visa gift card.

You better hurry though, you only have until Sunday, Jan. 27 to get your entries in for both of these contests. The drawings are scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 30.

Good luck. We hope you have a great 2019!

I noticed the same person won the $100 lucky rewards drawing 4 times in January What’s up with this? They are from Winston Salem NC Lottery
With our second-chance and Lucke-Rewards drawings, the more entries a player makes, the more chances they have to win. We don't know how many entries this player has had in each drawing, but it’s possible they made a lot of them. Our drawings are always observed by an auditor and conducted using specific security procedures to ensure the integrity of the outcome for all players.

I don't suppose there is any way to find a retailer in a particular area that has a particular scratch off game. I was buying a " Holiday Millionaire" ticket on occasion just because there is still one grand prize winner and relatively few tickets remaining. It says on the website that the game is ending but I haven't seen one in this area for over a month. Any way?NC Lottery
Hey Dennis! We aren't able to see which specific tickets each retailer is carrying, but you're most likely to find the Holiday Millionaire ticket at our regional offices.

@DENVER G.: Hey Denver, We hear you, and we appreciate you taking the time to provide specific feedback as we continually work to improve our processes for everyone. Our sales team that handles ticket distribution is broken down by region.

1/29/2019 03:11 - Denver G.

LZ, I understand the process of ending scratch off games. I just think the collection of these tickets could/should have been handled differently to give EVERYONE across the state a fair and even chance to purchase a few more tickets. The tickets collected were already in the displays. Whether it was 5 or 25 remaining, those tickets would have surely been sold within a few days, since it was such a popular game with 3 huge prizes still remaining. All myself and others wanted to do was get maybe 5-10 more entries into the last 2nd chance drawing. Was the collection by county or regional office?? I guess my comments are giving everyone a heads up, which I feel you could have done a better job in a blog letting people know. The last count the entries where a little over 400k, I doubt it will grow much more by the deadline. After all this ranting, I guess that's a good thing.

@DENVER G: We can certainly understand your frustration, Denver. When the last top prize was won, the Extreme Millions game was moved into the "Games Ending" section of the website with an official end date of March 1. Once all of the top prizes have been won and a game has been moved into the "Games Ending" section, our team begins picking the tickets up from more than 7,000 retailers across the state. This process takes up to six weeks and must be completed before the official end date of the game, in this case March 1. We are sorry that you weren't able to find the tickets you were looking for, but we hope this information helps you understand what the end of game process looks like.

Your Rep pulled all the Extreme tickets way too soon. I went to every grocery store, gas station & vending machine in town Saturday looking for the $30 Extreme ticket. Same story every where. All the tickets had been pulled and replaced with the Colossal Ticket on Friday Jan 25th with out warning!! The website says ending soon. It does not say on pickup. The Ticket is not ending till March 1st and the last day to enter 2nd chance is Feb 28th. Why would you pull all the tickets 5 weeks earlier???? I talked to a bunch of confused and upset customers and merchants pertaining to this.NC Lottery
Hey Denver, Please see our reply above!

I cannot find where I enter my 'Tis the Season 2nd Chance tickets, Holiday Cheer 2nd Chance tickets, and Holiday Cash 2nd Chance tickets. I have been trying, in vain, to get answers, and it looks like I'm already too late for the first drawing (with my luck, I probably won — and lost — because I couldn't figure out how to enter the tickets online!). The final deadline is six days away, and I do NOT want to miss this deadline. Can someone PLEASE tell me how to enter the tickets online so I have a snowball's chance of winning?NC Lottery
Hi Donna, We'll help you figure this out! To enter your holiday tickets into the Holiday second-chance drawing, all you need to do is click the "Collect" icon and scan your tickets for points. By doing that, you will be automatically entered into the second-chance drawing! You can verify your entries by clicking the "Draws" icon and selecting the second-chance tab. Let us know if you run into any more issues!
