The new Lucke-Rewards and Online Play experience are here

October 28, 2019 Posted by NC Lottery at 4:30 PM

The new Lucke-Rewards and Online Play are here! We’ve added fresh new features, bigger prizes, and more ways to play and earn. Let’s walk you through what you’re going to see.

The first time you sign in, you’ll be asked to verify your information and agree to new terms and conditions. You will also have the option to verify your account for Online Play. If you choose to verify your identity, you’ll be eligible for the Welcome Bonus. We’ll match 50% of your first deposit in the new experience up to $100. This bonus is available to all Online Play users.

Every player will get 100 Lucke-Rewards points when they confirm their information, and those who verify their identity will receive an additional 100 points!

Once you confirm your information, it’s time to check out the new features.

Player Dashboard:

Head to the Player Dashboard located at the top right hand side of your screen. When you click, you’ll see a different layout that’s easier to navigate. You’ll see primary account details such as points balance, wallet balance, and drawing entries. There are also links to your balance, Lucke-Rewards activities and histories, and account details.

Online Play:

If you click on the My Account option on the Player Dashboard, you’ll be able to find all of your Online Play information. You can see your purchase history, and manage your purchases. You can also take advantage of the new Auto Renewal feature which lets you set up recurring purchases for your favorite games every few weeks so you never miss a draw.

Earn Points:

We’ve added an exciting opportunity for players to earn extra points. All you have to do is click on the Earn Points icon on the Player Dashboard. This will direct you to a page where you’ll find interactive games and activities that give you points just for participating. It’s a free and fun way to get extra points.

Lottery Mobile App:

In order to bring you these exciting features at your fingertips we’ll need you to take a few moments and update your mobile app. If you’re an iOS user with automatic updates turned on, your app will automatically update. Otherwise, just pop into the App store to update. If you have an Android, you will need to delete and reinstall the app. You can click here for instructions on how to install the fresh new app from our site.

If you have questions, we are here to help. You can call our fresh new Customer Support Center for Online Play, Loyalty, and Mobile App at 1-866-934-0289 or try out the new chat feature on the website wherever you see the chat icon. Someone will be happy to walk you through any concerns you might have.

Did the crosswords game in the earn points tab go away?NC Lottery
Hi, Amanda! Right now, we aren't offering the crosswords game on our Earn Points tab, but we have a Holiday Match & Win game and many other options for our players to earn some Lucke-Rewards points! https://nclottery.com/rewardsearn.

Why can't I enter my Lucke Rewards on my desktop PC? It keeps going back to the main screen. Do I have to use my cell phone?NC Lottery

I truly think it's so much of a scame that they only pick in house for the winners because with all the points I spent I haven't won anything.best of luck to everyone,I will no longer be playing second hand games ever again.

6/22/2021 05:29 - elizabeth m.

you know that there is no log out button why will you tell people that there is...the only way to log out is WHAt??//!!!NC Lottery
Hi Elizabeth, thanks for the question. If you open the main menu, at the bottom you will find a button labeled "Sign Out". Just click that button and you're good to go!

5/31/2021 11:48 - Robin H.

Hi, Lucke Rewards will not let me redeem my 539 points on Blooming Bills. The Redeem button is not active. The Fast Cash Redeem button is active but i do not wish to enter that game. Now its almost midnight on the last day. :(

Where can i find the winners of the 2nd chance drawings for April 7NC Lottery
Hi Darryl, we are notifying the winners and as soon as they claim their prizes their names will be added to the list of winners. You can find the list of winners under each respective drawing on the Second Chance Draws website here: https://nclottery.com/RewardsDraws

4/06/2021 09:12 - Kyle H.

I think that it’s great that we can enter our loosening tickets.

3/14/2021 11:59 - Crystal B.

Trying to download the app on my phone where do I goNC Lottery
Hi Crystal, visit https://nclottery.com/mobileapp to learn more about the app and link directly to it in the App Store for Apple users. Android users will find directions for downloading and installing the app through our website. The NC Lottery Official Mobile App is not offered in the Google Play store because Google currently does not permit apps offering in-app lottery gaming.

3/07/2021 02:03 - jeff g.

I think it's nothing but bull s*** that they need your ssn for this game. I work in IT and they are other ways to prove your identification. I will no longer play this game. NC Lottery please don't reply to this and waste my time!!!

3/03/2021 12:02 - Darryl P.

Where can i find my points remaining NC Lottery
Hi Darryl, great question! When you are signed in to your Online Play account, just click on your user name in the top right of the website and the pulldown menu will reveal a "LUCKE-REWARDS POINTS" section that lists how many points you have accumulated. Good luck!

1/16/2021 03:33 - Robert S.

Wont allow me to sign in to lucke rewards? Keeps telling me it is unavailable? What is going on with yalls app? I just downloaded the app a few mins ago, so its the latest version. Thanks, RobertNC Lottery

Lucke-Rewards Entry Form does not work!NC Lottery
Hi Baoshan, if you are having problems with Lucke-Rewards entry, please visit https://nclottery.com/help where you can call, email, or chat with Online Play Customer Support.

11/12/2020 04:00 - Antonio C.

Is the Lucke reward site still working or can you only scan your tickets now? I tried to enter my code in on the website and it keeps telling me the site is temporarily down. Also, how old can the tickets be before they are no longer eligible for entry? NC Lottery
Hi Antonio, we haven't received any reported issues with Lucke-Rewards. Please go ahead and reach out to our technical support folks at nclottery.com/Help or 1-855-767-1863. The Lucke-Rewards Entry Code on a draw game ticket expires 180 days from the purchase date printed on the ticket. For scratch-off tickets you have as long as the game is eligible for claims, to enter your Lucke-Rewards points. Hope this helps! Check out our FAQ page here: https://nclottery.com/FAQLuckeRewards

Hi William, Please try deleting and reinstalling the app to make sure you are using the most up to date version. If this continues, you can reach out online support team 24/7 at nclottery.com/Help.

7/28/2020 09:20 - James W D.

When logging into Lucke-Rewards and after entering tickets, it does not give me a logout to click on.NC Lottery
Hey there James, If you click on your username in the upper right corner, you should see a drop-down menu with the option to log out. If you aren't seeing it, try zooming out on your browser, as you are likely too zoomed in to see the button.

5/23/2020 10:54 - Brandi D.

Do nc lottery contact via email if you win a second chance prize or lucke reward? NC Lottery
Great question, Brandi! Yes, winners are notified within 48 hours of the draws day via email. If we don't hear back, we'll give the winner a phone call and will send a certified letter to the address on the winner's account if we need to. Since the only way we can get in contact with a potential winner is by the info on their NC Lottery account, this is a great reminder to always keep your info up-to-date!

5/17/2020 06:18 - steven t.

Hi! I can see how many Lucke-Rewards points I have, I have gotten that far.. now, what do I do to use the points, how do I do it... NC Lottery
Hi Steven. To enter in to Lucke-Rewards Drawings with using your points,tap Redeem Choose Quantity and Tap Redeem You’ll see a confirmation.

I does not get a log out when I want to exit Lucky Reward after I have finished entering tickets. I have reduced my computer screen and it still does not show. Help!NC Lottery
Hi James, Please try hitting CTRL and - on your keyboard, that should zoom your screen out. If you aren't able to do that, just leave the screen alone for a few minutes and you'll be automatically logged out.

3/31/2020 11:00 - Bryant S.

Hello there I just recently signed up and I was ask to enter my last 4 digit of my ssn and I did so what is that exactly for and is it safe?NC Lottery
Hi Bryant, Welcome to our community! In order to participate in our Online Play program, players must go through a identity verification that is done using the last 4 digits of your social. This is to ensure that everyone who is creating an account is who they say they are.

3/18/2020 05:41 - James W D.

When I log into Lucky Rewards and have finished my transaction and click on my name in the right corner of my screen, I do not get logout to click for gettin out or Lucky Rewards. Log out is not there.NC Lottery

wont allow me to site to enter ticketsNC Lottery
Hey there Thomas, We want to help, but we need a little more info on what's happening. Are you receiving an error message when you try to scan tickets?

2/06/2020 02:19 - Lynne F.

I am wondering why the same amount of lucke-rewards points have been added to 2 different players' accounts when both players play a different amount of games and one pays more than another. For example, one player plays 3 power-play games online for 2 draws and spends $18 and earns 18 points normally, but yet another player only plays 2 power-play games online for 2 draws and spends $12 but also earns 18 points instead of 12. What gives? Why is this happening? Shouldn’t both players be earning rewards points at the same rate? Please explain.NC Lottery
Like playing the lottery, how many points a ticket is worth is a matter of luck! The minimum points you will receive for a scratch-off ticket is equivalent to the cost of the ticket, but sometimes you will get lucky and can get up to 10X that amount. For draw game tickets you can receive up to 5X that amount. You never know what you're going to get!

2/03/2020 09:51 - evangelyne m.

Need help entering my ticket number don't allow meNC Lottery
Hi Evangelyne, We want to help, but we need a little more info. What sort of trouble are you running into when you try to enter your ticket?

1/29/2020 07:44 - Jeanette C.

I had entered tickets then all of a sudden no permission what happenNC Lottery
We're not sure what might have caused that, Jeanette. Please reach out to our help team at nclottery.com/Help and someone should be able to figure out what's going on.

1/25/2020 09:31 - Derrick B.

I have been calling and emailing, etc...I’ve gotten transferred so many times and no one truly listened to me. I tried to see if my home address was in the system so I could at least know if there was an attempt. What would be the zip code if the mail came from N.C. lottery and what exactly would it be titled. I would think that there wou ldn’t be a label just in case someone decided to “claim” the package themselvesNC Lottery
Hi Derrick, If they left a notice at your home, that is the address that is in the system. You can view and update your contact information by visiting your Dashboard and then clicking "Personal Info". The certified letter would be addressed from the NC Lottery headquarters in Raleigh, zip code 27604. It would be addressed to the name listed on your NC Lottery account. If no one was at the address to accept the certified letter, it would be returned to us.

1/24/2020 03:20 - Derrick B.

I had certified mail delivered to my house in the beginning of Nov and I was always away at work and missed it and when I saw the notice I went to the post office and they said it went back to Raleigh. I have been calling lottery and sending emails because I think my account was hacked and/or someone claimed or attempted to claim a prize. My points when up drastically..then when I added a new email to my account I was eligible for these lucke reward drawings. NC Lottery
Hey Derrick, We typically send certified letters when a player wins a Lucke-Rewards or second-chance drawing and has not responded to our other attempts to notify them via phone and email that they won. If a prize goes unclaimed after 30 days, we award the prize to an alternate winner. It sounds like that might be what happened here, but we encourage you to give our support team a call at 1-866-934-0289 to be sure.

Hitting "checkout" from my cart. Plenty of money in my "wallet". Nothing happens! Have tried multiple times, even closing and reopening app.NC Lottery
Sorry about that, Bevin. Please try deleting and reinstalling the app. If the issue continues, please reach out to our help team at nclottery.com/Help and someone will work with you to figure out why nothing happens when you go toy our cart.

Every time I click to add tickets to Lucky Rewards on my laptop, it goes back to the same screen. Will not let me add all of these non winning ticketsNC Lottery
Hi Carey, there were some intermittent interruptions yesterday in ticket entry, but the issue should now be resolved. Please try to enter your tickets now. If you still have issues, please reach out and alert our tech support team at https://nclottery.com/Help Thanks!

Hi Donell, we aren't having reports of any widespread app issues, please check that your app is updated to the latest version. If you continue to have issues using the scanner please reach out to our technical support team at https://nclottery.com/Help

Where the heck does one log out of the account? NC Lottery
Hi Connie, You can log out of the website by clicking your username in the upper right and then selecting "Sign Out" at the bottom of that menu. If you click on your username and aren't seeing the option to log out, please hit CTRL and - on your keyboard, as your screen is probably too zoomed in to see the option. Hope this helps!

12/13/2019 12:30 - Chester G.

This $5 minimum is ridiculous. I have $3 left in my account and can't add anany more money right now but can't use it. You pay the transaction fees when you collect our deposit. What does it matter if we use $1 at a time or $5.

12/09/2019 11:21 - Shawn C.

So to enter two draw tickets I must now click Draw Ticket, enter Ticket Number, click on the input field Entry Code and enter that, wait for site to *verify* input for the Submit button to become active, click Submit, get "Permission Required. You do not have permission to view this content." random garbage error, try to Submit again successfully, click OK on the popup, click Draw Ticket (because page defaults to Scratch Ticket), enter Ticket Number, click on the input field Entry Code and enter that, wait for site to *verify* input for the Submit button to become active, click Submit, view another fancy popup with an OK button, get signed out of the site moments later automatically. I guess you do not want people entering tickets. Also, whoever you hired to design in-page dialog boxes (think Verification screen) and the user menu has not tested different window/screen sizes, so buttons for some users are only accessible by CTRL+Scroll that makes content smaller. Not very user friendly.

12/05/2019 10:28 - Eloise G.

I entered the White Elephant 2nd chance game for Nov. Drawing on Dec. 4th. When do they post the winners for that month?NC Lottery
Hey there Eloise! We typically notify the winners within 48 hours of the drawing. As winners respond and claim their prizes, we will update the website to include that info. We understand that folks are excited to know who won, but until they claim their prize, we don't officially have a winner.

12/05/2019 09:03 - Phyllis N.

Is there a time limit to being signed in on this site? It's annoying to be entering tickets, leave your laptop or cell for a few minutes or so, and have to log in again. Also, I like to save my points up then enter a large amount in the drawings-(not that it's helped me win) and we used to be able to put the amount of drawings we wanted, now it seems limited. Unless it's a glitch, I have to keep entering 10 at a time. NC Lottery
No glitches here! We have added enhanced security features to our website in order to protect your information. This means that players are automatically logged out after a few minutes of inactivity. As for entering points, there is no limit to how many times you can enter a drawing, but we have made a few changes to the denominations that you are able to enter. Right now, you have the choice to submit 1-10 entries at a time, or you can use all of your points. Hope this helps explain things.

12/04/2019 07:51 - Joseph M.

When I click on my user name the blue panel drops down and I get 5 spinning pinwheels that never stop spinning. I cleared cookies and cash memory and used google and internet explorer. The app works fine on my cell phone but not on the computer.NC Lottery
Sorry about that, Joseph. Please reach out to our support team at nclottery.com/Help and someone should be able to help figure out what's going on here.

11/30/2019 08:40 - Donald W.

Only the goobermint could be soooo greedy as to make $5 the new minimum purchase and call it "improved"! IF I buy another NC Lottery ticket it won't be from your site! Thanks for saving many of us who don't understand odds $2 a visit!!!!!!!!!! Cretins!!!!!!!!

11/29/2019 09:57 - Carole H.

what does *Ticket submission might be eligible for bonus campaign, please check history* mean and how do you check the tickets for bonus campaign?NC Lottery
Hi Carole, We're not sure where you are seeing that. Can you please reach out to our help team at nclottery.com/Help? Someone there should be able to identify what is causing that.

11/23/2019 09:12 - gwynn b.

Site is fine except we are unable to log out.NC Lottery
Hi Gwynn, we have noticed that on some web browsers the screen is zoomed in and the "Sign Out" button is not visible. We're working on fix for this, but if you zoom out on your browser window by hitting "ctrl -" you should see the sign out button at the bottom of your profile dropdown under your name on the top right of your screen.

11/16/2019 07:07 - warren d.

What happened to the flashlight on the app?NC Lottery
Hi Warren, iOS devices should have the flashlight option on the app. Android devices don't have the flashlight feature right now, but we are hoping to get that feature added in the future.

11/14/2019 08:15 - Susan M.

The $5 minimum is ridiculous, despite the "cost for e-commerce purchases." Given the number of comments on this new change, it looks like Lottery will be losing a lot of online players, including myself.

11/12/2019 09:35 - Lee T.

$5 minimum is a sham. Whoever designed this new site made it way too complicated. You have a gambling hotline then demand more money. WOW. NC Lottery
Hi Lee. Thanks for your feedback. The minimum requirements for funding and purchasing are a direct result of transaction fees. Like all e-commerce purchases, there is a cost involved. To off-set that cost and ensure we are meeting our mission in raising money for education, we increased the minimum funding and purchasing requirements for buying online.

11/11/2019 08:16 - Cynthia B.

You need to remove this silly $5 minimum. You already have our money. There is no reason to not allow us to determine the level of play that works for us. And you really need to bring back the simple extend play option on open tickets. Someone completely over-engineered the whole favs, autoplay, etc.

11/09/2019 04:11 - Wilfred K.

Your new website doesn't work! I can't buy tickets, see my balance or do anything else. After logging in, all I see is five circles rotating plus one faint tiny circle at the top. When are you going to fix it? NC Lottery
Hi Wilfred, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience our new website has caused. Please try clearing your browser cache and restarting. Once you log in again, please wait for your dashboard to fully load before clicking on another page. If the issue continues, please reach out to our support team at nclottery.com/Help

11/08/2019 02:05 - William C.

How do I enter my lucke-rewards entry code? It keeps going back to The orange!NC Lottery
Hi William, we're happy to help you enter your tickets. If you are using the app, please make sure you have latest version and have selected "lucke-rewards" in tab on the bottom of the scanner. If you are entering on the website, please make sure you have logged in recently, as the site may time out if you wait too long to scan. You can also reach out to our online chat support at https://nclottery.com/Help to assist as well.

11/07/2019 09:42 - Stephanie S.

This is my first time using the new app.I can not find where to scan my tickets. Does not seem to be user friendly as the other. NC Lottery
We'll help you find it, Stephanie! First, please make sure you are using the most up-to-date version of the app. Then, you can sign into the app and click on the circular blue button in the lower right corner. That will open the ticket checker and scanner to collect points--you can toggle back and forth between the two using the button at the bottom of the screen. Just make sure you have enabled camera access in your phone's settings. Good luck!

11/07/2019 05:52 - Heather L.

Are those two new mini-games a one time deal or can you play them weekly?NC Lottery
Hi there Heather, Right now those games are for a one-time bonus of points, but we plan to release new mini-games to earn points every so often to give folks more chances to win.

11/07/2019 11:57 - Paul P.

I STILL cannot enter any of my tickets since you changed the Lucke-Rewards part of the site. It is extremely frustrating because I sit here with a stack of tickets to enter and all the site does is send me back to the main page. UNHAPPY! NC Lottery
That is certainly not the experience we want you to have, Paul. We want to help, but we need a little more info on what's going on here. What specifically is happening when you try to enter your tickets?

11/06/2019 10:27 - Robert O.

I noticed when entering the Lucky 7 scratcher ticket, I was not getting points credited to my accountNC Lottery
Hi Roberto, Thanks for letting us know about this. Please try scanning your ticket again and if you still aren't seeing those points, please reach out to our support team at nclottery.com/Help.

Hi Karen, Please try enabling all cookies in your browser settings. Many players have reported that doing that will resolve the issue. If it continues, please reach out to our help team at nclottery.com/Help. You can log out of the website by clicking your username in the upper right and then selecting "Sign Out" at the bottom of that menu. If you click on your username and aren't seeing the option to log out, please hit CTRL and - on your keyboard, as your screen is probably too zoomed in to see the option. Hope this helps.

11/04/2019 11:56 - Michael B.

Exactly... When I was asked to verify my identity i was asked for the last 4 digits of my SSN. I entered that in and was told my identity can't be verified. There is absolutely no reason for this. Whatever 3rd party vender you're using for verification is not an official one. (Lowest bidder probably). This has nothing to do with data breaches. You're going to lose more revenue from this than you could ever save by going the cheap route. BTW an official verification service will match your info with actual government records not do a google search or background check on you.

11/04/2019 09:58 - Barbara B.

cannot enter tickets and cannot log outNC Lottery
Hi Barbara, We want to help, but we need a little more info on what's going on. Is there a specific error when you try to enter your tickets? Are you using a mobile device or a computer?

11/02/2019 09:54 - john m.

“Data breaches are happening on an almost daily basis and it has never been more important to protect players online identities.” LOL LOL LOL Oh, that’s thes reason. Why doesn’t everyone get the “opportunity “ the reverify their identity with you then?

11/01/2019 05:13 - Michael B.

Even though I've been using the site for nearly 3 years on a daily basis to buy tickets now I have to go pay a notary just to prove my identity. Whatever system you're using for verification is obviously flawed. You should consider changing it. NC Lottery
Thanks for your support for the past three years. We apologize for the inconvenience our new site has caused you. Data breaches are happening on an almost daily basis and it has never been more important to protect players online identities. Please bare with us as we continue to work out the kinks to our revamped website.

If you weren't able to verify your account, we ask that you upload a copy of your social security card, a photo ID as well as a notarized copy of the Identification Affidavit (Affidavit here: https://nclottery.com/Content/Docs/NCEL_IdentificationAffidavit.pdf). This will provide us with the information necessary to help you through the process. Once you have those items together, you can upload them directly to the secure document upload located in your Account. We apologize for the inconvenience.

I cannot make a deposit, withdraw or access my wallet. Uploaded color photo of my D L several days ago. Still does not work. I guess this just the way our Govt. works. NC Lottery
hi there Dewey. We want to sincerely apologize for the frustration. If you weren't able to verify your account, you should have received an email with instructions on what to do next. Please check your inbox. Thank you.

I have to say that my experience with the new app was nothing but positive. I did read the comments here first which I think helped alot. There are so many nclottery fakes in the app store, that I can't help but wonder if that is why so many had problems. I almost fell for one myself, but the pick 2 gave it away. Just shocked that a old dude that is not tech savvy breezed right thru it. Love the new scanner except for the sound, but the shock got me ready for my grandkids Halloween pranks. Can't wait to play online and hopefully win something. Thanks LZ, definitely worth the hype

10/31/2019 12:29 - Ivy C.

Hi there, Cherylyn. That’s not the experience we want you to have. The chat should be working. We are experiencing a higher than normal volume of calls and chats, which can cause a delay for a representative to help you. You can try calling to talk to a person, but there is also a wait time for that as well. As for the cart issue, we can try to share with you the information that we know. If you are using one device and then switching to another, your cart will not transfer. It only stays with the device in which you added the contents to your cart and you must have cookies enabled. If you are using the same device and logging in and out and are still having issues with your cart disappearing and you have cookies enabled, please let us know.

The new website will not allow me too do anything! NC Lottery
Hi there, Bill. That's not the experience we want you to have. Is there anything specific you need help with? We can try to answer any questions you might have.

10/31/2019 12:05 - Derrick C.

Redeemed large amount of points for Wicked drawing and now can't find any history of that transaction anywhere on new site. The new Lucke Reward history page doesn't show any history before changeover. The $5 minimum play is a horrible idea and the response from lottery officials about transaction fees doesn't pass the sniff test. Like others said, the transaction fee should relate to when money is deposited into play fund. What transaction fee would there be after that? I foresee some bad press on that one.

10/31/2019 10:53 - Evelyn P.

The new website is broken!! Have to type in my scratch off tickets for points when I used to just scan it. Did anyone get real users to use this new site before changing things? I put in my draw tickets but can't get or see a confirmation. It is too time consuming to enter my tickets!! can't find how to play my money to buy tickets, this part is broken as well. All it does is send me to a place to find a store and once there---NO More information!! Your IT dept. really screwed up somehthing that wasn't broken!!!

Hi, Evelyn. You should be seeing a confirmation when you enter your tickets into Lucke-Rewards. If you want to check, you can also select, "point history" in the drop down menu. If you are buying via mobile you select, "buy" at the footer. If you are on a browser, select, "Play Now" on the header. It's the first tab you can select next to the lottery logo at the top of the page. Hope this helps!

10/31/2019 10:18 - Diane C.

not working - won't let me enter tickets - I've been trying now for 3 days and nothing works!!! NC Lottery
Hi, Diane. Please update the app. We released a new version that should have fixed the issue. If that does not work, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Hope this helps and thank you for being patient while we work through some technical kinks.

10/31/2019 09:10 - pat d.

why cant i see my points accumalated for 2nd chance drawings this is surely a bad switch over i finally learned how to work it but still terrible NC Lottery
Hi there, Pat. You should be able to see that information. Please select, "second-chance draw history" in the drop down menu on your browser. If you're using your mobile app, please select "lucke-rewards history." Once you get to that page, please scroll to the far right to 2nd chance. Let us know if you still cannot see your points history.

put pick3 second chance tickets in,did not recieve any redeem points. NC Lottery
Hi there, John. We currently do not have any second-chance promotions for Pick 3. If you are referring to Lucke-Rewards, you should have received a confirmation that your ticket was successfully scanned with the amount of Lucke-Rewards points you earned. You can also go and see your points history in the drop down menu. If you are still not seeing your points, something is wrong. Please contact our support team either through online chat or by calling 866-934-0289

10/30/2019 09:17 - Dan P.

This new app update for android is horrible. The old app worked great. Can't scan anything without errors. The old app looked better and was easier to navigate. I don't need bouncing balls to make my experience better. I'm not 4 years old anymore. I used to be able to scan the tickets with my phone. Now I get errors and a confusing interface. I don't call these exciting features at all. I wish you went back to the old app. NC Lottery
Hi there, Dan. Thanks for your feedback. We are listening to what all our players are saying and the folks who make those decisions are reading this blog and taking note of every player comment. We did have an issue with scanning tickets with the app, but the issue has been resolved. Your ticket checker should be working. Try updating the app, or uninstalling or reinstalling the app. Please let us know if that does not resolve the issue.

10/30/2019 08:55 - Steve H.

If you don't use your points in 30 days, will you lose them?NC Lottery
Hi Steve, No, your points will still be there! Points can expire if you don’t sign in to your account for 13 consecutive months.

THIS NEW SITE IS A NIGHTMARE IT DOES NOT GO TO THE LUCK REWARDS DRAWINGS SO YOU CAN ENTER EVERYTHING IS HARDER TO DO AND THAKS A LOT MORE TIME TO DO. THIS IS A HUGE STEP BACKWARDS NOT FORWARD. I HOPE YOU CAN CORRECTED!!!!!!

I've been Trying to buy online exactly $9 (my current funded amount) in tickets between Cash 5 and/or Powerball, and CANNOT get my tickets through the "Checkout" process! Also cannot get online Chat to work! What The Heck!!! I thought maybe not getting min. $5 of each kind of ticket was problem, but cannot get a cart of $6 through check-out either!! THEN my tickets Disappear from my cart! I DON'T LIKE THE NEW SYSTEM AT ALL!! Been working on this for almost an hour without success! STUPID!! NC Lottery

I brought several days worth of pick 3/4 tickets. After 24 hours, I tried to enter them but I got the invalid entry notification NC Lottery
Hi Johnnie, we are aware of an issue with Pick 3/4 ticket entry. We'll make an update when the issue is resolved and you should then be able to enter your tickets without issue. If you could also send a photo to communication@lotterync.net of a ticket that is getting an invalid entry it may help us in getting it resolved quicker. Thanks.

“Hi John, As a part of this new system, we also transitioned vendors who are providing our online services. Privacy restrictions prevent us from transferring specific pieces of sensitive information without having users reverify a few things. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience.“ Privacy restrictions? What restrictions? Who imposed these restriction other than you? You have all my information already. What I saw the real reason? Enough double talk already. You’ve taken my money for year without no issue, why do you think suddenly I should print a page, drive to a notary and pay them, then mail form and copies of license and ss card somewhere out of state and wait for you to sort it all out? Seriously, if you cannot see how ludicrous this is I’ve wasted a lot of time trying. Monumental failure on your new app!

10/30/2019 04:57 - Audrey G.

How do you select a power play ticket? I don’t see the option for it on powerball or mega millions?NC Lottery
Hi Audrey, after picking your numbers and clicking "add to cart" the next screen will ask you would like to add a multiplier to the ticket.

10/30/2019 04:47 - Paul P.

The new changes are totally BAD. I've attempted to enter new tickets a number of times and the website does not respond. Instead of opening a screen to enter tickets, I either get nothing or it goes back to a previous generic page. Please tell me how I can get to the Enter Tickets page!!!! NC Lottery
Hi Paul, Please try clearing your cache and restating the browser. Then, once you've logged in again, please wait to click on anything until your dashboard has fully loaded (the spinning circles will disappear). Then you should be able to get to the Ticket Entry page here: https://nclottery.com/RewardsTicketEntry

10/30/2019 03:42 - Jason Y.

Hi! You've already received a surfeit of comments about the $5 minimum, but here's one more. You mention transaction fees, but that doesn't make any sense to me. You already have taken a minimum of what was $4 and is now $10 on a wallet deposit. You ALREADY have that revenue booked. It's just a spend-down after that point. Are you getting double-transaction fees from the vendor? For both ACH/Debit/Paypal transactions to fund the wallet and ALSO on every purchase? This presents a very much undesired mode of playing. I'd buy a single ticket at a time, and I would absolutely fund my wallet for some period of time. I don't want to make $5 worth of purchases at the time - and I shouldn't have to, because YOU ALREADY HAVE MY MONEY. The person that thought this was a good idea needs to be fired.

10/30/2019 03:38 - Marie P.

This is horrible. Why did you change things. You did not make it better. Now it is harder to navigate. Go back to the old. Everything I enter I get a blank. NC Lottery

Once you've logged in, wait until all of those spinning circles in your dashboard have disappeared and the information populates in their place before clicking anything. If you click away while it is still loading, it won't go through. If clearing your cache doesn't work, please try closing your browser or possibly using a different one.

Thanks for the information, Marc. Our team is looking into this now. Are you trying to scan the ticket or are you manually entering it? If you're manually entering the ticket, please try again and let us know what happens. Please note that any o or O character in the code is a zero, not the letter O.

NC Lottery Good morning Mel- We're sincerely sorry that you're having issues entering your tickets. If you're using the app, please try updating it. We launched a new version this morning that should have fixed any ticket entry issues. If you're using a computer please contact our customer support team at nclottery.com/Help.NC Lottery
Hi Chris, Sorry about that! Looks like our blog team is getting our wires crossed.

10/30/2019 10:53 - Evelyn E.

NC Lottery should be customer friendly for NC residents not, the Lottery Officials! 1. Why is it not compatible with MACS? Not everyone accesses the lottery from mobile devices. 2. Why the minimum of $5 purchase? Are you trying to encourage gambling addiction? Some days I just want to purchase 1 Cash Five ticket. I work in Sales so, I understand encouraging customers to spend more BUT, this is the NC Lottery so, it navigation/purchasing should be easy for ALL NC state residents who wish to use the service!NC Lottery
Hi there Evelyn, We want to help. What specific issues are you running into on your mac device? As a part of our new Online Play system, we updated our policies to include a $5 minimum purchase amount to help counter transaction fees. We certainly do not wish to push folks to spend more than they planned to on our lottery games. Our intention was to improve the experience for everyone who chooses to play, and we can see that we have fallen short of that, and for that we apologize.

10/30/2019 10:46 - john m.

Yet not everyone must reverify? What could have possibly changed, social security number? Driver's license number only if you change states, but that has not happened. You have my information, it's all the same. Refusing business is a poor way to run a business. Just cancel my account and refund the money.

10/30/2019 10:40 - Mary W.

I can not enter scratch off tickets into the Lucke-Rewards.NC Lottery
Hi Mary, Our team implemented a fix for the ticket scanner in the most recent update. Please try checking the app store and making sure you have the most recent version of the app installed on your phone (Version 2.0.1). If you are on a desktop computer, please try clearing your cache and trying to enter the ticket again.

10/30/2019 10:36 - Laverne B.

All I get when I attempt to go to Ticket Entry is the spinning wheel as many others have reported for several days now. This is obviously a system wide problem! If not, can someone tell us what we must do to make it work. If not, can NCEL just tell us this is not working and let us know when it is resolved? There is no sense in our sitting here trying day in and day out when you know it is not working yet - if that is the case! NC Lottery
Hi Laverne- We truly are sorry that you're having difficulties entering your tickets. If you use a computer, the ticket entry function should be working. If you're using the app, please try downloading the new version that we launched this morning. It should have fixed any issues with ticket entry. If you are still running into issues, please contact nclottery.com/help and someone will help you identify what's going on.

10/30/2019 10:34 - john m.

What privacy issues? You already have all my info. How B is my privacy insured by mailing a photocopy of my driver's license and social security card to Lansing MI? Why can you not look at my old information and type it into the new system or ask me for it and I will tell you again? You've been accepting my money for years now you ask all this of me. I can only imagine how much money you are losing because of this. Guy at the gas station never asks for id or my social security card. I played a lot less when I had to go buy physical tickets. If you were trying to decrease lottery revenues, good job. Otherwise, not so good a job.NC Lottery
Hi John, As a part of this new system, we also transitioned vendors who are providing our online services. Privacy restrictions prevent us from transferring specific pieces of sensitive information without having users reverify a few things. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience.

@JOHN M.: Hi John, We can certainly understand your frustration with this process. As a part of the transition to the new system, we were not able to transfer specific pieces of your personal information due to privacy restrictions. Because of that, some users are being asked to reverify their information. We want to apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you.

hi, the new service dont have built in email or messages for if you when or purchase or do it and i cant find it NC Lottery
Good morning Eddie. The new system no longer has a message center. All of the transaction history information that you get in the message center is still available. Just go to the transaction history, points history, Lucke-Rewards history, or Second Chance history. All of these can be found on the player dashboard. If you're a winner, you'll still receive an email notification, plus a pop up screen will notify you that you won.

10/30/2019 09:01 - Toby A.

Ticket entry code. Where is that number in the scratch off. It only has one number and it says that the ticket number is invalid. I would agree with the previous peoples statements. Not a good update and very difficult to use. Old way was better NC Lottery
Hi Toby, You'll need to enter the Ticket Number, which is the 12-digit number on the back of the ticket above the barcode in the form XXX-XXXXXX-XXX. Then, enter the Entry Number, which is the 12-digit number on the front of the ticket located in the scratch off area in the form XXXXXXXX-XXXX. Be sure to scratch the ticket completely to find the full Entry Number. You can also find a diagram that explains where to look on the Ticket Entry page: https://nclottery.com/RewardsTicketEntry Hope this helps!

Hope you didn't spend a lot of money on this "upgrade. It's awful. Can't find the blue ball to enter or check tickets. Found it once. Could enter but not check tickets. Don't like being restricted to the drop-down choices for rewards entries. Can't play the amount of points I want to play. Bring back the old site. NC Lottery
Hey Gavin, We want to sincerely apologize for your experience here. Our team has found a solution for the ticket scanner and it has been resolved in the latest app update. Please visit the App Store and make sure you have installed the most recent version of the app (Version 2.0.1).

10/29/2019 11:05 - Rob B.

Noticed tonight that there is now a $5 minimum play and I find that unacceptable and irresponsible. Players should be able to determine how much they wish to spend but I guess the lottery needs to make more money than they do already. Once my funds are depleted, we will be deactivating our account and will not play anymore. Bad decision on your part.NC Lottery
We hear you, Rob. As a part of our new Online Play system, we updated our policies to include a $5 minimum purchase amount to help counter transaction fees. We appreciate you sharing your feedback with us and we will be sure to share it with the appropriate department. We wish you all the best.

I believe nobody tested or even tried the app before launch. I deleted my app It’s terrible. Scanner doesn’t work, pages not sized to fit screen Really gonna have to find some new app people who have some knowledge of web design and function

I have $384 in funds available, 2 pending purchases for a total of $and can't purchase because my identity can't be confirmed. Someone needs to be held accountable for this screw up @NC Lottery
Hi James, We apologize for the extra steps involved with verifying your account. We can certainly understand your frustration with this process.

The $5 and $8 minimums are ridiculous. I cannot determine whether you are trying to dissuade lower income players or boost your income. This is no longer funny money. I am surprised the multi-state lotteries permit same. Done with you, I amNC Lottery
Hi Mary, we sorry you're frustrated with the new system. We instituted a $5 minimum to help combat card transaction fees. Also I wanted to mention that the minimum is $5 in purchases at one time. If you select "build my numbers" you can select less than $8 in purchases. You can also change your selections to different games or consecutive draws to make your cart equal at least $5.

Horrible update, horrible experience. 1. If you have anything in the cart and get logged off - webpage getting refreshed every 15 seconds, big red window pop-up coming and won't go away. It messes with chat window, for instance - so you lose queue. 2. No cart sync between sessions or web and app. 3. Suddenly you cannot do anything without changing username, and form for change give error about First name field instead 4. To buy just one ticket you need to go thru "6 or 12 or 24" window first, then select 1 ticket, then, if you want random numbers, every time click "clear ticket". previous version was much easier for folks like me who buy 1 ticket. Seens like new version promotes excessive gambling, instead of "play responsibly". NC Lottery
Hi Oleg, Please see our reply above.

Hi Sharon, can you please let us know what issues you are having with the new app? We are working on fix for the scanner on iOS devices and will have that pushed out as soon as possible.

I don't like the new app, I like it when you could scan your own tickets and see if you won or not.NC Lottery
Hi Joanie, the app still has the same winning ticket checker and Lucke Rewards entry scanner as the old app. There is currently an issue with the scanner on some iOS devices and our app development team is pushing an update through Apple to address that as soon possible. We're sorry about any confusion on the scanner and hope to have it working properly soon.

I dont like it

10/29/2019 01:24 - Adan A.

The app works great. In on an android note 9.The only thing I'm concerned about is the wicked winnings game isn't listed on active and I can't check the number of entries I've made only point spent unless it's second chance. Also I have a question about second chance. If there are five drawings is each drawing consider it's own? If you win 500 are you disqualified from winning the 5,000,000?NC Lottery
Hi Adan, we're glad you're enjoying the app. Since the Wicked Winnings drawing entry period is closed but the draw date is tomorrow it's not showing up in the Past Drawing section yet. It will be there once we do the drawing though. We're looking into how to improve the entries view as well. Regarding your question on drawings, each drawing is separate and a person could win more than one drawing in a month. A player can only win one prize in a single drawing though, even if that drawing has multiple prizes.

How do you logout of the new system? Chatted yesterday, and was told to click on my user id. That only allows a dropbox to go down or up. Was told it would log out when I left the website (and it eventually did) but it takes a while. I prefer a logout button. Maybe its there and I'm not seeing iy.NC Lottery
Hi Mike! You can log out of the website by clicking your username in the upper right and then selecting "Sign Out" at the bottom of that menu.

10/29/2019 01:01 - Douglas H.

We are very positive people always trying to motivate others here and make it a fun place to be but this new upgrade has completely changed our look on things with the lottery online. Sadly it’s a colossal fail and with all the very talented and brilliant programmers and developers out there we are very stunned that this was rolled out in the condition it was we cannot check nor scan tickets except one here and there but then quits working nor can we find any of our points that Allegedly transferred over we are using iPhone 7 Apple. We even called Apple to see if there was something on their end but it wasn’t. We were so excited and couldn’t wait to see the new roll out but sadly it’s been a huge disappointment and customer service really is just giving generic answers which we understand because what can they say it ended up being a fail. Hoping one day these issues are all fixed but we’re going to delete the app and just maybe play a scratch off here and there Best Wishes

10/29/2019 12:46 - Tim M.

On the old app, you could see your total points. Then, when you entered another ticket for points, you saw the total increase, besides the amount of points you received for the individual entries. Now if you want to see your grand total, you have to go to Account Info. Can you please fix this? Also, that menu in the top left corner did absolutely nothing every time I tried. Also, the website is screwed up on the actual site. It seems Sraw Info and Buy Now have switched positions?! I keep clicking that by mistake! Another thing, I can't increase the size of the Pick 3 draw info page for Past Draws. I can usually enlarge by touch but nothing happens!NC Lottery
Hi Tim, Please see our reply above.

This is new and improved ?? All I get is constant "loading "on my desktop . I can not get into any area of the new site to enter tickets . I called this morning and got the " we are working on it " answer. I think it's time to get some web developers that know what they are doing .At best this is a very poor showing by the NC Lottery . This site should have been tested thoroughly before being rolled out .

Today i entered all 3 drawings available for Lucky Rewards. Where do i find the running total for these draws? Example-i submitted 8 entries for the 50k 7 entries for the 100.00 and 8 entries for the Panthers tickets. I see where i entered them but don't see the running total. Tried to find my user name to click on but do not see my user name. Minimized all the way down to 70% but still can't find it.NC Lottery
Hi Jim, Thanks for sharing this info. At this time, we don't have a place where you can see running totals for individual drawings. You can view your entire drawing entry history here: https://nclottery.com/RewardsHistory?ht=REWARD

10/29/2019 10:58 - Belinda A.

The new $5 minimum purchase seems counterintuitive to your play responsibly philosophy. I am not sure how this is justified in terms of transaction cost; the transactions are handled electronically and payment comes from our funded NCEL accounts. I purchase tickets purely for entertainment value – not in a desperate hope to increase my net worth – and it is much easier to rationalize one ticket at a time. I will most likely stop playing online when my funds are depleted and go back to my annual ticket purchase when the mood strikes me (I’ve spent more on the lottery since creating an online account several months ago than in the past decade, fyi). NC Lottery
We hear you, Belinda, and we appreciate you sharing your feedback with us. We will be sure to share this with the folks who make those decisions.

this new re-do so far seems to be a train wreck for those of us who don't want to participate in online play and/or only use laptops or desktop computers . Please, for starters, give us that don't want to do online play the option to totally get rid of the pop up "Welcome Bonus up to $ 100" ad, maybe then I can try and figure this new stuff out without having to click off that thing every 10 seconds . Extra points? Not getting them after I signed in...is that for online players only ? Also, what happened to the wicked winnings entries I had ?NC Lottery
Hi Tony, Your entries are all still there, don't worry! Our team is working to get that drawing page added back to the site as we speak. As for your question about points, you should have received a 100 point bonus for signing in in for the first time, even if you didn't upgrade for Online Play.

Hi Austin, As a part of our new Online Play system, we updated our policies to include a $5 minimum purchase amount to help counter transaction fees. However, you do not have to use it all on one drawing. When you click "Buy" you have the option to "Build My Numbers".

The app drains the phone battery so much that the phone gets hot. Discovered how to scan by accident - had to exit the app 3 times in a row for each ticket.

It took us several times to get to the blog because we kept getting a banner that said “access denied” even though we were already logged in We sent screenshots to the email support desk and hoping I can find a resolution or you are such huge fans of the lottery on the website before but this new one has been really frustrating because it locks up constantly Really hope it’s kinks being worked out. Had really high hopes but so far it hasn’t been working for us and we have iPhone 7 and never had any problems except minor ones with the old application which were quickly resolved. Hope it’s fixed soon :-(. NC Lottery

site will not let me enter scratch off tickets to collect points. Also where do I log out of site.NC Lottery
Hi Ronald, please make sure you have the most up-to-date version of the app installed. Once you log into the new app, you will see a circular blue button that opens up your ticket checker. You can log out by clicking the menu button in the upper left of the app and then scrolling to the bottom of that menu.

Can tickets still be scanned?NC Lottery
Hi there Ellis, Of course! Please make sure you have downloaded the most up-to-date version of the mobile app. Once you log in, there will be a circular blue button that floats in the lower right corner of your screen. That button will allow you to toggle back and forth between collecting points and checking your tickets. Hope this helps!

The feature to check your tickets is gone.NC Lottery
Hey Michael, Not to worry, the ticket checker feature is still there! Once you log into the updated app, you will see a circular blue button that floats in the lower right part of your screen. That is where you will go to check or collect points.

My mistake about the points, apparently there was a delay in them being added.

10/28/2019 05:10 - john a.

I use a desk top and my points aren't being added. Also, I get a blank when I click on lucke-rewards, and I don't see a way to log out.

I haven't reinstalled the app yet but logged in on the website. How come I only got 210 points? I thought it was 500? IF you say the 'old experience', I logged in on the website. I can't do anything with the app, yet. As for the old app, I stayed logged in all the time anyway, like Facebook. How can I get the 300 poi ts?NC Lottery
Hi Tim, every player will get 100 Lucke-Rewards points when they confirm their information, and those who verify their identity will receive an additional 100 points. When you update your app to the new version you will also get a 250 point bonus. You can also earn additional points in the new Lucke Rewards "Earn Points" section: https://nclottery.com/RewardsEarn.
