NCEL, here’s something to consider… convert reward points to actual $ after a certain point. That would be more beneficial to more people. I’ve been using rewards on all those promotions, it’s becoming a little pointless now. I think giving that option, even if it was limited, would help me feel better about playing. Thanks.NC Lottery
Thanks for sharing this idea with us, Marina! We'll pass this along to the folks that make those decisions. Feedback like this helps shape the future of play for our players. :)

PLEASE explain to me how there can be 2 BIGGGG prize winners in Fast Play Progressive within basically a month at the same store in Pfafftown?????? One winner for about 1.3 million and another for about $400,000!!!!!! How is that fair to the rest of the state????????????? PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THAT COMPUTER SYSTEM OF YOURS WORKS.... I have never ever seen a BIG winner here in Wilkes, not over $500 or $1000 dollars, so I stopped playing. And if you say the more you play, the more you might win, well that's the same as saying you need to BE RICH TO PLAY THE NC LOTTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NC Lottery
Hi, Gina! Winning once doesn't prevent a player from being lucky again. When you purchase a Fast Play ticket it is played against a "full deck" of all the possible outcomes. Meaning each purchase has the same chance to win every prize, including the jackpot - it just takes a whole lot of luck!

Lucky Rewards going downhill again... 3 winners here, 5 winners there for $500 , oh wowww. Give me a break. You guys at NCEL just do not appreciate the money spent on these scratch-offs to even get a few Measly points for lucky reward drawings or 2nd chance drawings. And on top of that the points you do get SURE DON'T GO AS FAR AS THEY USED TO, BECAUSE YOU GUYS UPPED THE AMOUNT OF POINTS IT TAKES TO GET INTO EVEN A SMALL $500 DRAWING!!!!
