Currently, it is the Governor's Piggy bank and I am tired of see

He told us since everything had gone to the chip (computerized) ther

North Carolina Lottery celebrates 15th anniversaryReply
I don't believe for a minute that they pay out .95 on every $ in prizes and the money now days goes in the general fund earmarked for education (yeah right). Anyone that plays NC knows they are as crooked as the pandemic has been long. We did not have trips for a FULL YEAR! Then they started red ball last month for a second rigged (pre-recorded) drawing and dropped 3 trips in one month and we had trip 1's 3x in 3 weeks. Meanwhile, we have not had trip 9's in 4 YEARS (March 1, 2017). Wish w
