How to Check & Claim Prizes in North Carolina
To check a ticket, match the draw date on the ticket first, then compare every number — main numbers can be in any order, while any bonus ball must match exactly. Partial matches still win smaller prizes in most games, so never throw a ticket away before a full check at a retailer terminal or the official NC Education Lottery website.
Prizes under $600 can be claimed at North Carolina retailers, mid-tier prizes at regional claim centers, and prizes of $100,000 or more at Lottery Headquarters in Raleigh. The claim deadline is 180 days after the draw.
Whatever the prize, sign the back of your ticket as soon as you buy it, keep it somewhere safe, and note the claim deadline — an expired winning ticket is worth nothing.
