1. North Carolina doesn't have PowerPlay? 2. Why isn't NC getting Hot Lotto (at least not now?) I heard South Carolina was developing a "Carolina Plus 6". BTW there are lawmakers in NY who want to cut the payout on scratch games to 40%. NC's pay 52%. Maybe they don't want Hot Lotto because it is now a computerized drawing, and nobody likes that. Maybe if MUSL went back to ball drawings they could make a big event of it, and other states (and players) would be interested.

The whole Poweplay thing has me stumped... We already have that! Read it again: they are talking about multiplying by up to 10 times. Nobody does that currently.

First of all NC need to make the payouts better, this is one of the reasons why people aren't buying here. The scratch offs are just plain crazy to buy. I don't buy them here at all. I like Virginia's much better and my luck seem to be with VA. K

According to the article, the Powerplay multiplier will come to NC this spring. The multiplier is called PowerPlay. Maybe they meant to say just the 10x will be available this spring. NY Blotto (currently 6/59) has always paid out 40%, and players have gradually taken notice. Imagine a flash cut from 65% to 40% on scratches. This is why you can't believe everything you read. NC does have the Powerplay multiplier option up to 5. The 10 is suppose to come in the spring for a few weeks. Now let's just hope NC does not try to increase that $2 ticket to a $3 ticket just because it's going to 10. We will have no lottery at all then because people are not going to pay for something extra especially when we have a BAD lottery. Yes, it's bad.
