The N.C. Education Lottery plans to conduct an additional 2019 Holiday Second Chance drawing on Wednesday, Jan. 29.
If you entered holiday scratch-offs into the 2019 Holiday Second Chance drawing on Dec. 4, your entries will be in the Wednesday drawing.
As allowed under rules for the drawing, the lottery chose to hold the additional drawing because a review by lottery staff discovered that not all entries had been included in the Dec. 4 drawing.
All prizes won in the Dec. 4 drawing will be honored and paid, including the top prize of $50,000, five $10,000 prizes, and 50 $500 prizes, as they are claimed.
The Wednesday, Jan. 29 drawing will award the same number and amounts of prizes. The names of winners will be posted on the lottery website as usual after they claimed their prizes.
Nothing is more important to state lotteries than ensuring the integrity of their drawings. If a mistake does occur, steps are taken to correct the mistake and ensure that players get the entries they are supposed to. In this case, the way to ensure fairness is to conduct an additional drawing.
The final 2019 Holiday Second-Chance drawing will be held as scheduled Wednesday, Feb. 5. The deadline for entering Holiday scratch-off tickets for that final drawing is Friday.
