Any plans to bring back taxes paid scratch-offs for top prize winners. Here's an idea ! Designate one month for any winner who wins a $20,000 or (more) prize pay no taxes. I bet scratch-off tickets sales would go through the roof ! I'm thinking this a wonderful idea in this pandemic era ! Everybody needs a little hope and I'm sure NC Lottery can afford it.NC Lottery

Hey ncel! Is there any way I can get a nc lottery shirt. My house got flooded and so did the gear I use rack up from nc lottery events like Keno and spin the wheel.NC Lottery
Hi Michael, sorry about the flooding! We aren't giving away any shirts right now. Giving away physical merchandise is a bit tricky during the COVID pandemic but when it's all over there should be some more opportunities to collect Lottery apparel. Thanks for asking, we appreciate the support!
