Inviting all fun seekers! We’ve seen how much you like playing for points, especially with Carolina Cascades. You can now play Carolina Cascades for fun.

Don’t worry, the option to Play-For-Points is absolutely still on the table for you up to once per week. We’ve just opened up the option to continue playing for fun, as much as you want, if you’ve hit your Play-For-Points cap. Because we’ve been there too.

Check out the “Earn Points” section of our website or on the NC Lottery Official Mobile app to learn about more ways to earn extra points.

Love these games. Sadly our updated app (IPhone-Apple AT&T) is still not working. Holding on to our tkts for now. Have deleted and reinstalled a few times. Our phone software is updated on time always. Called it in and hoping for a fix soon. It happened when we updated the App for NCEL. Hope everyone has a great 4th of July. :-) and looking forward to more winning storiesNC Lottery
