It does my heart good to watch these people having their dreams come true. I have always thought that we could eliminate the current tax system with a national lottery and . But we have to be so careful that corruption be kept in check with a system like this.

how do you get to spin the wheel? NC Lottery
Hi John. Here's a great video that explains how the BIG SPIN game works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3_Yc0b5jX8. All you have to do is get yourself a BIG SPIN scratch-off ticket. Then, you play it like a normal game. If you uncover a "SPIN" symbol that matches a winning number, you can go online to ncbigspin.com and spin the virtual wheel for a prize. If that virtual wheel lands on "BIG SPIN", then you get to come to Raleigh and spin the BIG SPIN wheel live for up to $500,000! Let us know if you have any other questions.

Congradulations to all the winners. I wish you all many more happy wins .

I hope NC draws much better numbers in the Pick 3 and Pick 4 in 2020. Some of us play the Pick 3 and 4 moreso than Scratch tickets or Cash 5. Give back to these players too. Stop bringing out those least played numbers .

MUST BE 18 TO PLAY. Odds to win a prize and the top prize vary based on the game or promotion. See game or promotion pages for more detail. Problem Gambling Helpline 877-718-5543
