Not too sure about that. I don't buy raffle tickets but take a look at the number of replies in the Florida raffle thread in Discussions.

Maybe the NC Lottery is fishing in a different stream, and looking to attract people who are not regular lottery players. The prizes do seem a little puny, though, and with only a 9% chance of hitting a small prize, I'd probably pass, too.

Maybe my lottery fatigue, but IMHO $10 ticket for a paltry pay-out not worth it
