They said they will add midday pick 3 in the spring. I don't know about pick 4.

Just read this on WRAL's website. They did change the law yesterday.

The announcement comes as the Education Lottery is working to boost sales after the General Assembly changed the law to allow them to increase prize payouts.

hummmm....i wonder why is it that states always expect to hit the ground running. You have to crawl before you walk. I'm sure if they paid the retailers a bonus for selling top tickets that might help a little bit....as fas as adding more lottery outlets

The holiday raffle, in which players buy a limited number of tickets for cash drawings, is outpacing sales of similar raffles in Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia and South Carolina. In recent weeks, sales of new games appear to be up.
