North Carolina was among the youngest states to join America’s lottery system and offers an impressive variety of lotto games, from popular national draw games such as Lotto and Lotto-Plus, to scratchers that provide greater odds than most lottery tickets.

No matter your budget, there’s sure to be something perfect at the NC Lottery for every taste and every budget. Their website shows each scratch-off game‘s value as well as how many top prizes remain – making it easier than ever before to locate something just right for you and giving odds of each prize level level being won.

Those seeking the biggest North Carolina Lottery prize should try their luck at multi-million dollar draw games such as Mega Millions or Powerball. In these games, you must match numbers drawn randomly and the more matches you make the larger your prize is; however, your odds of success may be slim; winning an NBA championship or royal flush blackjack hand may offer greater odds than Mega Millions jackpot winnings!

Instant-win games offered by the NC Lottery offer much higher odds of success than traditional draw games, with no minimum purchase necessary and availability throughout the state. You can use the NC lottery app to purchase tickets and check results; additionally, Lucke-Rewards gives additional opportunities for victory!

NC Lottery also offers several drawing games with different prize levels depending on how much you purchase, such as Carolina Cash 5. For just $1 per play, this game allows players to select five numbers between 1 and 43 or add prize-increasing Double Play and EZ Match options at an extra $1 each; should all five numbers match, the grand prize of $100,000 awaits them!

NC Lottery also offers another drawing game known as Lucky for Life with an incredible jackpot prize pool of $5.75 million if you are successful. Should you win, your odds of success are greater than those associated with Powerball but still significantly less than being named saint or hit by lightning!

In addition to instant-win and drawing games, the North Carolina Lottery provides other gaming opportunities including Keno and video poker. All NC Lottery profits benefit education, with gaming revenue growing steadily since 2006 when the lottery first started operating – raising 6.6 billion for educational programs! Despite some initial controversy around its debut in 2006, more people than ever are enjoying lotto games now and its reputation as an invaluable source of funding has increased accordingly.
