Big problem! This prize was reported by NCEL against my SS and now the IRS is coming after my. I informed them to find Richard White. They don't care and now are attempting to charge me penalties and interest. NCEL needs to investigate this. Likely it's a clerical error on a W2-G. Please help.NC Lottery

Congrats! +1 what Michael said. Why not put Pick 3 & Pick 4 into the online games. Covid or not, I would like to have Pick 3 online for sure.

I'm so sick of seeing online players winning all of the jackpots. What's the point of having lottery machines in the stores if you want all the winners to be online players? Something fishy about it

Congratulations! I really wish that pick 4 and pick 3 would be approved. Nobody wants to drive to the store just to play numbers with this covid going on. Also how about keno online? Other states do it. NC Lottery
