      <description><![CDATA[LOL...I was thinking the same thing, Tenaj. And I am a Republican of all...lol. I am disgusted with the NC state government right now, so in my last official election for now as a NC resident, I am going to throw some wrenches in there. I won't vote in this state again for another 10 years or so (whenever the last kid leaves the nest), since I am in Ft. Mill now. Hopefully by the time I move back to the QC, things will be better in NC...lottery and otherwise.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I just saw Oregon's Lottery Scratch-it Holiday tickets.  The $10 is called  The 12 dogs of Christmas Tripler .  It has 10-$10,000 top prizes and the odds of winning a single prize is 1-2.12.  I would have though that the ticket would have been at least $100,000.-weshar75]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Tenaj,<br /><br />Wonder what the jackpot will be for the NC $20 scratcher ?<br /><br />The $10 Jingle Jumbo Bucks here in Ga has a top prize of $ 750K and we even have a $5 holiday game that pays $225K.<br /><br />I travel thru NC from time to time, but I buy my tickets( including Powerball ) in SC....<br /><br />..DD]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[DoubleDown, the first fews day NC launched their scratch offs I stopped buying them.  You can actually buy 5 of those $10 Christmas tickets and come away with zero.<br /><br />I mean zero.  I can't believe they think that it will bring the upper middle class to play the lottery enticing with $10 scratch offs.  Where did they get that idea.  They really do hate the people who play pick 3.  They thought the same for the Powerball but it let them down.<br /><br />They should appeal to the people who like to play t...

      <description><![CDATA[Christmas tickets always sell fast because people will buy them because of being the holiday spirit and to give as gifts. I have noticed that the Christmas tickets seem to have the worst prizes of all. However, last year, PA sold one for $20 with several $1M prizes and other high dollar prizes, so that was the exception. DE sold $1 tickets with something like 50 top prizes of $250. That's laughable.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I don't know, but I will tell you this:<br /><br />I will not play a $10 scratch ticket with such a low number and amount of of grand prizes. I do my homework...<br /><br />Ga has several $10 tickets with prizes ranging from $ 250,000 ( 60 of these jackpots are available) to others offering $500,000, $750,000, One Million and even 2.5 Million as incentive.<br /><br />SC has decent ones as well. Some are One Million Dollar JP's and they are lump sum...<br /><br />Are you listening, NC]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The North Carolina Lottery is putting another game into play Tuesday.<br /><br />The first $10 instant ticket game in North Carolina is reaching stores. The new game is part of a trend in the lottery industry in that it's a holiday-themed scratch-off game that officials hope will boost sales.<br /><br />Lottery director Tom Shaheen says more games at $10 or above are expected, including the possibility of a $20 instant ticket game, which Shaheen says may be attractive to people who don't always play the lottery...
