Deadlines for Lucke-Rewards drawings near

April 23, 2020 Posted by NC Lottery at 3:24 PM

As the end of April approaches, so do deadlines for two Lucke-Rewards drawings, including your chance to be one of five winners of $20,000.

Our April Fool’s Fortune drawing offers the $20,000 prizes. You just need 20 points to enter the drawing. The deadline is Thursday, April 30th.

You also have a chance to enter our last Fast Cash drawing of the month. Ten people will win $100 in the drawing. You need 10 points to enter. Your deadline is Sunday.

At this time, due to our state’s Stay At Home order, no Lucke-Rewards drawings are being conducted. You can continue to enter all drawings as normal. Don’t worry, your chance to win prizes will not be affected by the drawing delay.

We will hold the Fast Cash and April Fool’s Fortune drawings as soon as possible after the order is lifted.

Good luck and stay safe.

I just do not see why the wait to draw an award that the money has already gone in for,perhaps it was APRIL FOOLS NC Lottery
Hi Olin, the reason why our Lucke-Rewards and second-chance drawings are postponed right now is because our staff is not permitted to be onsite at our headquarters during the Stay At Home order. Don't worry, once that is lifted and normal business operations resume, we'll conduct the drawings and award all prizes.

Hi Lewis, Happy early birthday! Our drawings are on hold while the stay-at-home order is in effect. We plan to reschedule the drawing day as soon as possible after the order is lifted.

it is almost 2 days from the time i received my 1500 winning price of Mega-mil game. Nothing is showing but the word "in process". Could someone explain for me more about the case! I long for the reasonable explanation about the delaying of my winning amount- to my knowledge the solution is just an agreeable click from the authority's computer mouse!NC Lottery
Hi Albert, If you have questions about the status of your prize, please reach out to our online support team at nclottery.com/Help. They will be able to view the status of your claim and let you know if there are any additional steps that need to be completed.

i have a question for you. If someone won over $600 on line, how long he/she will receive such amount after tax deduction?NC Lottery
Hi there Albert, There are several factors that have an influence on how quickly an Online Play win will be paid. The process starts with the winner initiating the claim online. From there documents are typically requested prior to payout. Since every case is different, we can’t say exactly how long it would take. If you have a question about a win and how long it would take to pay out, we encourage you to contact our help team at nclottery.com/Help.

I have been trying to enter my lottery tickets into the lucke rewards program for months and I can never get in. Does your system not like Chrome? I have to download Microsoft edge to make it work. What gives?NC Lottery

So convenient, site won't allow me to enter my 2nd chance tickets! All screwed up,shouldn't have to be a computer genius and go through a maze, just to enter a 2nd chance ticket. Why is it so difficult? No need to buy 2nd chance drawing tickets. A fake

HOW DO THE LOTTERY CONCACT SECOND CHANCE WINNERS?NC Lottery
Hi Robert, we attempt to contact second-chance winners several different ways. First, we will send a notification email. Then, we will follow up by calling the winner and leaving a message. Finally, if we still haven’t heard back we send a certified letter to the address on the winner’s account. Winners have 30 days from the first notification to respond and claim their prize.

i was earning extra points and noticed that it said that you can play combo on line. which is related to pick 3 and 4. does that mean we can play pick 3 on line Now?NC Lottery
Hi William, At this time Pick 3 and Pick 4 are not available to play online. The "combo" option for Online Play refers to the option where you can play every possible combination of your favorite numbers. You can combo your numbers for Mega Millions, Powerball, Cash 5 or Lucky For Life.
