About the North Carolina Lottery
The state legislature approved the North Carolina Education Lottery in 2005. Since then, profits from ticket sales have gone toward education in North Carolina, funding various initiatives from preschool programs to college scholarships.
The North Carolina Lottery joined Powerball in 2006, followed by Mega Millions in 2010. The lottery also offers its own daily draw, jackpot, and scratch-off games.
