About those NC Digital Online Games...What's the verdict?
I asked the search engine about NC digital instant games and what money they take in vs what money they pay out. I asked the question b/c the games seem to just take your money and never give you anything substantial. Below is the response, but I am having trouble believing that they pay out 87% of proceeds.

Over $9.5 million in unclaimed lottery winnings expiring soon in WashingtonReply
The expiration deadline is real, and it's worth taking Washington law seriously. It's pretty clear that unclaimed prizes get forfeited 180 days after the drawing, and once that window closes, those funds are redirected to the state's education account. What's interesting about the $9.5M sitting out there is that it likely represents a mix of situations: some folks genuinely lost or misplaced tickets (like Lavender Roses mentioned), but a fair chunk probably comes from casual players who never bo
