Calling all Pick 3 and Pick 4 players. Today marks the return of a fan-favorite promotion: Instant Cash.

Starting Monday and lasting through March 23, Instant Cash gives you a chance to win $5 cash instantly. All you need to do is purchase a Pick 3 or Pick 4 ticket valued at $1 or higher.

Keep in mind that the purchase must be made in a retail location.

You will know you won if you receive a special offer message and barcode on the bottom of your ticket. If you see that message, just detach the voucher and give it to the lottery retail clerk who will scan the bar code and give you $5 in cash instantly.

The $5 cash prizes will be awarded while supplies last.

Good luck and go get yourself an instant cash win!

@NCEL has it already ran out (Instant Cash) as I love pick 3 and 4 so that was already my games even though I can't hit, because I am always one number off or it is in the Fireball on a ticket that I didn't play Fireball like last night Loaded up on 976 and number was 966 Fireball 7 go figure :( Plus I did not get a single instant cash out of $50 worth of play and all was for $1 or more.NC Lottery
Hi, Angela! Each play of a Pick 3 or Pick 4 ticket of $1+ has a chance to receive an Instant Cash voucher, but it is still just a chance to win. This promotion runs until March 23rd: https://nclottery.com/promo/Pick3-Pick4-Instant-Cash.

Please do something about the very slow response when I enter tickets on my pc. I do not have all day to sit here and enter tickets. I have a big pile of tickets now and I don't think I will ever be able to enter them all. You have taken all the fun out of playing second chance drawings.

Nothing for online play?

Still can not enter any points in Lucke-Rewards . I have contacted your support team . They say they are still working on it , yet in your posts you say the issues have been resolved . Get your act together and hire someone who knows what they are doing !!
