We will get a pick 3 and pick 5 in the fall. The bids have to be in at the end of September. Nothing said about a pick 4.

It's the same thing with any new state that gets the lottery. Tn had a powerball jackpot winner as well as Oklahoma.

North Carolina lottery is very new, that's probably why it gets a lot of attention. August 30th will make NC lottery 5 months old, and I'm loving it.

Sure, it's when you stop at a store and win $400,000. I'd just sip on some hot chocolate and get very, very mellow.

Holy mackerel, if you're going to worry about that misspelling, you're going to have a field day correcting 75% of the posts on the forums

We have a Lottery here in nj. Plus most other states. Why is NC so special? I rarely go on here and not see a new story about the NC Lottery.

Prediction - for Sunday August 13th:

Winston-Salem man wins $10 on scratch-off, plans to use his winnings toward Lunch...

or

New NC Lottery terminal arrives at the Kwik-E-Mart in Raleigh...

In nj you'd have to win a quarter of a billion to get the same attention.

The Powernall jackpot numbers were matched with a single winning ticket in Wisconsin that was bought at a store along the so called Miracle Mile since there have been many winners who bought their tickets

What a miracle for mrs. Thomas,better late than never

Reminds me of the August 10, 2005 Powerball draw where the guy in New Mexico needed a gallon of milk so he stopped by the grocery store. He also got a quick pick which turned out to be the very lucky jackpot ticket.

Thomas said her money will go immediately into the bank. After that she plans to pay off her daughter's mortgage, she said to lottery officials.

Aw, what a nice Mom
