Too tight. You guys need to loosen the odds a little. Played 20$ and only won $1.75 total at $1 per play until I was out. Not playing again.

How do I cash outNC Lottery
Hi Yetara, if you win on Digital Instants the funds will automatically be deposited into your Online Play account. Then, simply make a withdrawal request to transfer the money to your own account using ACH, Paypal, VISA, Online Banking or Check. Here's the number if you need any assistance: 866-934-0289

Questions: If a player gets the "Top Prize" bonus in The Lamp game, when turning over the chests, do the prizes behind each one stay the same or potential prizes shift after choice is made? Eg, I choose 7 chests with differing prize potentials, 2 have a low prize potential that are the same amount, and 5 differing prize potentials, on the next choice will there be a possibility of this lower choice being the prize because the system is set up that way or do all chests still have a potential to win because each prize behind them is set and doesn't change? Thanks.NC Lottery
Hi, Juliana! When you click Play on a Digital Instant game, the outcome of the game is randomly determined and set in place, so unveiling symbols or bonuses would not change any of the prizes that were meant to appear from that play - those would still be the same.

I can’t believe you’re not offering not even 1 PROMO Code for the new digital games (Slots)basically…Virginia has great promo codes available.Give people an incentive NC LOTTERY!NC Lottery

after the initial identity verificatn how much can be withdrawn? must one cash in at a regional office over $600, headquarters @ 100k?NC Lottery
Hey there, Timothy! You can withdraw from $1 - $10,000 per withdraw request. When you win online, prizes under $600 will automatically be deposited into your account, and prizes from $600 to $99,999 can be claimed entirely online. Prizes of $100,000 or more will require a trip into Lottery HQ to claim, though you'll still be able to start the claiming process online. :)

Hi, @Danielle Simone R.! There is no way to hide games for specific player accounts, and we are unable to move the location of our Digital Instant games. We do want to take the opportunity to share some resources we have available for Online Play that may be helpful: we have daily deposit limits in place, but players can choose to set their own deposit limits or loss limits to limit the amount spent on Online Play. Players can also self-exclude, after which they will be unable to purchase tickets online, but this would be the case for all Online Play games, not just Digital Instants. We have more resources and support available at https://morethanagamenc.com for anyone who needs it.

Is there any way possible that you all could please consider putting those slot games elsewhere? I am addicted to casino style games, and rather than completely give up gambling altogether, I ONLY allow myself to play lotto since it’s easier for me to control my spending. I am embarrassed to say how much money I just lost playing your new slot games. It’s to the point that I will have to deactivate this online account and just start going back to the store once a week to play numbers. I loved the convenience of online play, but I won’t lose my house and car behind it!NC Lottery
Hey there, Danielle - thank you for reaching out! We responded your comment but due to the character limit, we had to respond in a separate comment - you can find it right above yours in this thread!

Today I won $150 but he asks me for all the verifications and I still don't receive the money and they don't send me any confirmation that it's in processNC Lottery
Sorry about that, Elizaul! It can take a couple of business days for our team to process the identity verification documents, after that we can approve the withdraw request and your funds will be on their way to you! You will only need to complete the identity verification for your first withdrawal request - after that, you'll only need to receive a verification code via the email linked to your account to withdraw funds. Apologies for any inconvenience, and rest assured we work to process those requests ASAP.

Absolutely hate this new format, I prefer the old version! The new digital games are a waste!

11/16/2023 08:44 - Eugene H.

Digital Instants have arrived: It's a whole new way to bilk people out of their money. I will be so glad when the sports betting is finalized. At least you have a chance, and I don't have to drive to Virginia each week.

11/16/2023 07:21 - Roger K.

How can I stop them digital tickets from coming up everytime I go into my account? I will not be playing another of them. They slow me down waiting on them to load.NC Lottery
Sorry about that, Roger! Unfortunately at this time, there is not a way to change the layout of our site/app for individual players. Once you reach our site or app, you can navigate away from the home page without waiting on the games to load if you'd like!

11/16/2023 06:15 - john T.

What a bunch of garbage . Bad enough North Carolina is one the lowest paid percentage to tickets printed but now another way to take peoples money . Casino in your pocket and then they say if you have a gambling problem call an 800 number. Terrible nc just terrible !!

I love this but, it doesn't allow you to cash ocash out. You can only play lottery gameses with the winnings. Also, the games played don't give you option to choose the amount of money you want to play. Also you can only see your winnings if you're playing a game.NC Lottery
Hi, Thelma! All of our games have the option to adjust how much you wager per play. Some games have the option to adjust directly under the Play button, where you can add to or subtract from your wager. Other games have wager adjustments in the game settings - look for the 3 lines on the left or right side of the game to make adjustments. All winnings are added to your account balance, which you can certainly use to keep playing, or you can complete a withdrawal request to have those funds moved from your Online Play account to a bank account or debit card.

So far the digital instants have been great. Fast play need to be online as well.NC Lottery
Thanks for the love, Jeremy! We hope to be able to offer Fast Play online for our players one day - the future is full of possibilities!

Not all of the games have a “money mode,” for instance Frost or Flame. Unable to play.NC Lottery
Hi, Tena! On the Frost and Flame game page, there are two buttons - one for Demo Mode, and one that says "Play" that will take you into money mode!

Hey just want to let you know there is like 4 of the digital games, that can’t be accessed by an iPad. I ran in to this with the Virginia lottery. They had so many other games,I just played them. They haven’t fixed it yet to my knowledge. Good job on getting these games online!NC Lottery
Hey there, Tamela! Thank you so much for letting us know. If using an iPad, we recommend using the web version through a browser instead of through the app for best optimization of the games.

11/15/2023 09:23 - KYM B.

I still say that KENO is your best moneymaker for online games!!!

11/15/2023 08:52 - Dana A.

Not a fan of the way the site now looks! Please put it back ASAP!

11/15/2023 08:33 - Paul W.

Ok. Fun? Yes. But with that came tech navigation from, well, below us. Why?

11/15/2023 08:19 - Jonathan W.

When you play in demo mode, are the odds the same as when playing with real money?NC Lottery
Hi, Jonathan! Yes - the odds in Demo Mode are the same as they are in Money Mode.

11/15/2023 08:16 - Marie B.

I am going to stick with scratch off that I buy in person. I tried playing and it didn't work for me and I lost money -- didn't get to complete my play. Am I the only one that doesn't understand how to play??NC Lottery
Hi, Marie! We're sorry about that! The outcome for each Digital Instant game is determined at the time of purchase. So if you get disconnected from your browser or app, you’ll be able to re-enter our site or app and view the results and the replay of the game. If you get disconnected during a game, once you log back in, select “My Account” and “Digital Instants History” under the “Online Play History” section. The most recently played game will be at the top of the screen, and you can click “View” to replay the game and the results.

Unable to play PlatinumNC Lottery
Hey there, Janice! Are you able to view and play any of the other games? We recommend trying to reload your web browser or app and see if that fixes the issue. If the issue persists, please reach out to https://nclottery.com/Help and our Online Support folks can look into this for you.

These games look great.

11/15/2023 02:41 - Dreanna T.

Tell Michalko this was unnecessary. So… online/mobile slots disguised as digital scratch offs. To add to the finance awards for next year? Not needed.
