October promotions pay out $63,000 in prizes and more

September 29, 2020 Posted by NC Lottery at 1:56 PM

It’s official. Fall is here and, just like this fabulous weather we’re having, our October promotions won’t disappoint.

From Oct. 1 to 31, enter for your chance to be one of three luck-e winners of $20,000 in our Pumpkin Payout promotion. The drawing is scheduled for Nov. 4.

October also brings you four opportunities to win cold, hard cash every week, like in the Pirate Payout drawing! Enter by Oct. 4 for the Oct. 7 drawing for a chance to win $500. And check back each week to see what other treats we have in store!

As always, check our Lucke-Rewards Drawings page each week to see what’s up for grabs. And don’t forget to visit the Earn page to earn more points by playing games, taking surveys, and more. Insider tip: be sure to opt in for receiving promotional emails from us because sometimes these emails have freebies. So, keep an eye out!

This entire month, you will earn 10X points when you enter your Fast Play tickets into Lucke-Rewards. Plus, from Oct. 19-31, you’ll receive a free $2 Jackpot 7’s ticket when you buy $10 or more on any Draw Game ticket like Pick 3, Pick 4, Cash 5, Mega Millions, Powerball.

Raise your hand if you love Pick 3. Players will have a chance to win a second time when the red ball is drawn during evening drawings all month long. What a treat!

How do you know if you won?NC Lottery
Hi Jacob, winners of Lucke Rewards drawings are initially contacted by email. We will also call and send a certified letter to winners letting them know to claim their prize.

is there a limit to the # of times you can enter the Pumpkin Payout ? NC Lottery
Hi KC, There is no limit to the number of entries you can submit for a particular Lucke-Rewards drawing.

does anyone know a time or if you can watch live for the lucky rewards and 2nd chance drawings? That would be great if its a option. NC Lottery
Hi there Josh, Our 2nd Chance and Lucke-Rewwards drawings aren't held at any specific time during the draw day, rather when our security, audit, and draw staff all have the availability to conduct the drawing according to the security procedures. However, all of our drawings are open to the public. In order to attend a draw, you'll need to give our Security Department a call at 1-888-732-6235.

What time on the day of drawing are the drawings done. Plus is there anyway to watch the lucky rewards drawings or the 2nd chance drawings live or on the internet?NC Lottery
Hey Josh, We answered your question above.

Thank you for all the great informations. Yes I love to play pick 3 and all the other games as well. I am keeping the faith that I will win something big soon .

I knew before I left the store it wasn't what I wanted. When that happens, I just suck it up and accept it.

I understand Carolina Cascades has been eliminated. Will there be a replacement?NC Lottery
We've got plans to add some fun new games in its place. :)

Well dang B, I don't play them that often. I forgot pic3 & 4 gave you individual tickets , unlike all the other draw games that just print out all the numbers on 1 ticket. I bee thinking they should have left pic3 & 4 out of this promotion. I just hope when you do get a free ticket the machine will shout out load and clear "FREE TICKET". Gotta keep things on the up and up!!!

9/30/2020 04:10 - William D.

sorry T but the pick 3 with 5 draws with day/night gives you 2 tickets of $5

9/30/2020 12:19 - Denver G.

Boys & girls, Just fill out a play slip that adds up to $10. Whether you pick the numbers or QP, it shouldn't be that hard. Play both day & night draws on pic3 or pic4. For 5 draws or 5 numbers. LFL,PB & MM should be very ez. C5 just say give me a $10 ticket.... Clerks are just clerks, some are very good and some are very bad. Fill out a slip and avoid the drama !!!

9/30/2020 10:45 - john a.

It wasn't long ago I said something about poorly trained clerks. Getting them to print a multi draw ticket confuses some clerks. Just this morning I asked a clerk for three Cash5 on one ticket, for one draw. She gave me a ticket good for the next three drawings instead. NC Lottery
Hey John, We're sorry to hear about that! It's always up to you to double check your tickets and make sure you were issued what you requested. We always encourage folks to let the retailer know if they did not give you what you asked for.

9/30/2020 10:43 - William D.

really hard to play $10 on a (pick 3 or pick 4) slip. it only has 7 advance play which means the only way is to advance play with the combo option.

9/30/2020 10:01 - Denver G.

Well that sux hind teat. I just purchased my C5 tickets for the entire month of Oct online, too take advantage of the 5X the points since today is the last day of the promo. Only tix I was gonna buy instore is the Fast Play. Glad I didn't replay my LFL tix online. NC Lottery
Sorry for the confusion, Denver!

It says you will receive a free $2 fast play with a $10 purchase of a draw game but when you purchase pick 3 or pick 4 they are at a dollar a ticket so how will the machine know you bought $10 worth of tickets and also how many entries are on the second chance drawing for the Carolina black ticket.NC Lottery
Hi Tim, In order for your purchase to qualify for the free Fast Play ticket, you'll need to ask for a multi-draw ticket that totals $10 or more. As long as it's all on one ticket, the terminal will automatically know to print you a free Fast Play ticket. As for your second question, the Carolina Black second-chance drawing currently has 317,053 entries.

9/30/2020 08:32 - Denver G.

Morning LZ. I don't see Fast Play tickets listed anywhere as being one of the draw tickets that will earn you a free $2 ticket. I even checked the rules for this promo under the promotions tab. After all Fast Play is a draw game and should be included in this promo.NC Lottery
Hey there Denver, You bring up a great point! While our Fast Play games may have some similarities to draw games, Fast Play is not a draw game. There are no numbers to pick and no drawings to wait for. Eligible games for the free ticket promotion include Pick 3, Pick 4, Cash 5, Powerball, Mega Millions, Lucky for Life, and Keno.
