Instant Millions debuted in May with four $2 million top prizes and eight $100,000 prizes. Three $2 million prizes and three $100,000 prizes remain to be claimed.

How do we alert the NCEL of android NCEL app issues? Even as new updates are released I still have issues with scanning tickets and the app saying "Not a Winner" when the ticket is a winner. I will scan it 3 or 4 times and half the time itll say not a winner and half that it is a winner. Thats a pretty big issue and its rampant on the android app. Itll also say "Invalid Serial Number" to then go back to "Not a Winner" and then to "Winner". This needs to be addressed.NC Lottery
