We have big plans for players in 2026. The North Carolina Education Lottery will celebrate its 20th anniversary with new games, and a familiar draw game will see some big changes. Here are just a few of the exciting things this new year has in store.
Biggest “X the Cash” Launch Ever
The popular “X the Cash” games will make their return in a big way in February. The new 5X the Cash, 10X the Cash, 20X the Cash, 50X the Cash, and 500X the Cash games will join our 200X the Cash game to offer prizes totaling more than $1 billion. That makes this the biggest launch of any family of games ever. Get ready to get in on a billion dollars of winnings.
Millionaire for Life
The Lucky for Life draw game you’ve enjoyed for years will level up in February with a new name and a much larger top prize. The new game will be called Millionaire for Life and will carry a top prize of $1 million a year for life! The second-tier prize will also get a boost to $100,000 a year for life.
20th Anniversary
The North Carolina Education Lottery hits a major milestone, and we want you to celebrate with us. The lottery turns 20 years old and will release a special $20 20th Anniversary ticket in April to mark the occasion. The game has a top prize of $1 million dollars and 200 prizes of $20,000. If you want to celebrate with us online, we will also launch a 20th Anniversary Digital Instant game with a top prize of $200,000.
Jungle Cashword
Players tell us they love puzzle games because they find them more engaging to play. We heard you, so in May we are launching Jungle Cashword with two ways to play. The game will be available as a $5 scratch-off and as a Digital Instant game you can enjoy on your phone.
Look for these fun ways to play and win in 2026. Happy New Year from your North Carolina Education Lottery!
