Is the NCEL ever going to allow players to cash our winning tickets/play slips under $600 in the app? I do not see the difference between scanning it at a store/vending machine and on your phone. Forces a lot of needless travel for some who are unable to but does not seem like anyone at the top of NCEL is looking into this? I see no problem in an endless launch of digital instants, how about focusing on some things that help players like this? Thanks!NC Lottery
Hi, William! This is something we've heard from many of our players that they'd like to see, and we hope to be able to offer this feature one day in the future. While we don't have any set plans at this time, the team in charge of those decisions read comments like this, so the future is full of possibilities!
