I. No place to look up your numbers brought on line.no way to show your ticket numbers are given a scamNC Lottery
Hey there, Linda! You can view your numbers for your Online Play purchases under your account tab - for upcoming draws, you can view the numbers under "Transaction History --> Upcoming Purchased Draws" and under "Past Draws" for past draws. Hope this helps to clarify!
