Not right to to sell 30$ scratch off and advertise 2nd chance when there is no 2nd chance available. re:5,000,000 ULTIMATENC Lottery
Hi there, Gil! The final second chance drawing date for the $5,000,000 Ultimate Game is to be determined, but you can still enter these tickets as the entry period is ongoing. Once we have a draw date determined, we'll update our website!

10/25/2025 07:32 - Brian T.

The scratch off tickets have gotten more expensive as the 2nd chance games are less frequent and worse. Only one entry per player account should be allowed, but NCEL doesn't care about fairness. They're just rigging games for more profit.
