Cash POP promotion to end Friday, May 23

Cash POP’s Free POP Fridays have been a huge hit with players across the state.

Players purchasing a Cash POP 5-POP ticket on Fridays in May have received an additional 5-POP ticket for free.

Originally planned to continue through May 30, the promotion has exceeded all expectations, with more than 101,362 free tickets provided to players during the first three Fridays and is now ending after four Fridays.

Free POP Fridays gave players an extra reason to try the new draw game and five extra chances for a win! And with over $3.4 million in prizes paid in Cash POP drawings during the first three Fridays alone, there has been a lot of winning going on.

Congrats to all our lucky Cash POP winners.

Please continue this as originally planned. Also, if each participant received an additional 50POP ticket for free, how could 101,362 free tickets have been provided; it is not a multiple of 5.NC Lottery
Hi, Stephen! Each participant in this promotion received a free 5-POP ticket, but 101,362 is the number of free tickets printed, not the number of POPs.

Who are you kidding? Friday alone you paid that over $5 million!! I’m guessing you were losing losing money! I’ve heard stories online people bought thousands of tickets winning hundreds of thousands of dollars!

@NCEL. You all have cheated the players again. You advertise something and change the rules to the game again. I played POP every Friday never won anything over $30, but continued to purchase tickets. I was looking for my big win this coming up Friday, because I was going all out with $10 cover all. It is ashamed this is legal @NCEL!

Enjoyed playing the Friday Cash POP game. Disappointed that it has come to an end.

NCEL, it doesn't matter what you give away for "free" when your games are rigged. Janky games like this, Pick 3, Pick 4, etc. They're not even retirement money games. Yet, you probably pull in more money from them because of the misconception of an easier win. Shame on you!
