2x multipier again on my Friday night $5 per draw rigged lotto ticket. NCEL you and your colleagues are dirty. You help to make our society dirty under the guise of doing good. It's like stealing in the name of justice. Do you think this will make a better world for your children? You would be wise to expose the corruption under a government mandated audit.NC Lottery

Sure am glad lottery sales is going good. It is so sad that Rutherfordton County is having to close 2 schools. How much lottery money has been sent to Rutherfordton County in the last 12 months? What can lottery money be spent on for the schools?NC Lottery
Hi, Jackie! Elected officials, not the lottery, decide how to best use the money we raise. Last year, Rutherford County received over $3.8 million in lottery dollars, and you can see a breakdown of how those funds were used at https://nclottery.com/EducationCounty/Rutherford.

Whoopity doo, all players standby for a low predetermined multiplier on your overpriced $5 per draw ticket for a rigged, computer program that polls all numbers played prior to the draw. Shame on you NCEL for promoting this corruption.
