When 'trips' occur, they generally produce big wins, the Lottery said in a press release. That's because combination of three of the same numbers are some of the most popular combinations played.

I have to respectfully say that statement is the truth, but not the whole truth. What the NCEL lottery forgot to mention in their press release is that that the reason why so many people are playing so many trips in North Carolina is because the trips are hitting like crazy there and have been all y...

You can tell that LOs there in NC run their games with honesty.. just look at how many times Todd has ran stories about how Players are ALWAYS winning Big there..whether it's MM,PB or their in-State proprietary Games...

May have to move to NC..

How do you know if your state uses balls or a number generator? I know some times Michigan doesnt show the drawings, but some times they do. If my state switched to a number generator, I'm done playing here

Nice pay day. Lucky for them they still have Mechanical Ball Drawings. Hate that we switched to RNG...certainly we won't revert back to the popular MBD!

Too bad Kentucky lottery wouldn't raise their cap out so more of us could play and potentially win.
