Question: Why when someone wins $1,000,000 on a scratch off after federal and tax with holdings they only get $424,600? But this gentleman won $750,000 and takes home more. NC Lottery
Great question, Joshua. For our scratch-off games, the annuity/lump sum option begins at $1 million. So for folks who win a $1 million prize, they have the option of receiving an annuity of $1 million paid out over 20 years or a lump sum of $600,000. It's always up to the winner to decide which option to go with. Our game development team created this Jumbo Bucks game to have a $750,000 prize for that reason - there is no annuity/lump sum option, the winner simply wins $750,000. We create lots of different games with varying price points and prize structures so that folks can always find something that interests them when they choose to play.

Been in Duplin county IGA stores to buy lottery tickets everyday, and no major winning tickets. The jackpots arent in this county. Hopeless. NC Lottery
Sorry to hear you haven't had more luck, Jeffrey. We wish everyone could be a big winner, but it's important to remember that prizes come from non-winning tickets. You never know where a jackpot winner is going to show up - all it takes is finding one lucky ticket. We hope your luck changes soon!

Do you have any plans to come out with a new $5 crossword anytime soon? That's one of my favorite scratch off tickets. NC Lottery
You're in luck! We've got a new $5 crossword themed game coming out on First Tuesday next month.
