What are the best North Carolina scratch-offs to buy right now?

Our three top-graded North Carolina scratch-offs today are $2,000,000 Diamond Deluxe ($20), Ruby Red 7's ($20) and Win Big ($20). Each still has at least one top prize left. Even these pay back less than they cost on average. Rankings change daily as prizes are claimed.

Which North Carolina scratch-off is most likely to win?

The North Carolina game with the best odds of winning any prize is 200X The Cash (#925, $30) at 1 in 2.93. It still has 3 top prizes of $5,000,000 left. Most of those wins are small, often just your ticket price back, so good odds are not the same as a good buy.

What's the best North Carolina scratch-off at each price?

Our top-graded pick at each price today: $1: $5,000 Triple Play; $2: LADY LUCK; $3: LOTERIA®; $5: $400,000 Jackpot; $10: $1,000,000 Bonus Match; $20: $2,000,000 Diamond Deluxe; $30: $5,000,000 Ultimate; $50: 500X The Cash. The price filter on this page ranks every game at each price.

Which North Carolina scratch-offs should I avoid?

3 North Carolina games are still on sale even though every top prize has been claimed: 100X The Cash, JUMBO BUCKS (#948) and Double Your Money. You pay full price with no chance at the top prize. The Top Prizes Claimed (Avoid) filter on this page lists them.

How do I claim a winning North Carolina scratch-off?

Prizes under $600 can be cashed at any lottery retailer in North Carolina, and prizes under $100,000 at a Regional Office & Claim Center. Prizes of $100,000 or more must be claimed in person at NC Lottery headquarters in Raleigh. You can also claim by mail for prizes under $100,000; our guide to where to cash scratch-off tickets covers the forms and ID you need. Federal tax of 24% is withheld on prizes over $5,000, and North Carolina taxes lottery winnings as income at up to 3.99% (more on taxes on scratch-off winnings).

How long do I have to claim a North Carolina scratch-off?

You have 90 days from the date the lottery officially ends the game, not from the day you bought the ticket. Check a game's end date before you buy, especially if it is ending soon. Our guide to whether scratch-off tickets expire lists every state's deadline.

Can I buy North Carolina scratch-offs online or with a card?

Yes, online: NC Lottery Online Play (Digital Instants) sells digital instant games in North Carolina, though those are separate games from the paper tickets sold in stores. In stores, debit cards are accepted if the store chooses and credit cards are not allowed. You must be 18 or older to buy. More in our guides to buying scratch-offs online and with a debit card.

Do more expensive North Carolina scratch-offs have better odds?

Mostly, up to $30. The typical (median) game at each price, with its odds of winning any prize and what it pays back per dollar: $1, 1 in 4.85 and about 59 cents; $2, 1 in 4.63 and about 64 cents; $3, 1 in 3.99 and about 62 cents; $5, 1 in 4.30 and about 68 cents; $10, 1 in 3.80 and about 75 cents; $20, 1 in 3.45 and about 79 cents; $30, 1 in 3.27 and about 82 cents; $50, 1 in 4.06 and about 82 cents. Payback tends to rise with price, but you still lose money on average at every price.

Are North Carolina scratch-offs worth it, or do any pay back more than they cost?

Not as an investment. Right now 0 of the 82 North Carolina games on sale are expected to pay back more than they cost. The best, $2,000,000 Diamond Deluxe ($20), still returns about 94 cents per dollar, and the typical game about 72 cents. A scratch-off that pays back more than it costs is rare and does not last long, so play for fun with money you can afford to lose. More on whether scratch-off tickets are worth it.

Should I buy North Carolina games that are ending soon?

Sometimes, when good prizes are still left. No North Carolina games are ending within the next 90 days, so there is no Ending Soon filter on this page right now. Bear in mind that scratch-off tickets do expire: in North Carolina you have 90 days from the date the lottery officially ends the game.

Expected value is an average across many tickets, not a prediction for any single purchase, and every one of these games still returns less than it costs on average. Figures are recalculated daily from remaining prizes.
