North Carolina Lottery Scratch Offs: 000 and 001

Whether $3 or $10 ticket, the beginning of the lottery roll were NOT winning tickets.  000 and 001 were consistently NOT winning tickets based on my North Carolina lottery experiment. 003 and 005 were winning tickets. Also, 148 or 149 seems to be winning tickets.  So if you see  "4 tickets left," one of the tickets are likely to be a winner.  If you see two tickets left, then I would choose a different scratchoff game based on my findings on this experiment.

EZ Match Play for the Carolina Cash 5

I played the EZ Match back in April 2014.  It was my first and last time because as you can see on my actual ticket pictured to the right, the highest win level was only $50.  Now, the EZ match sample plays in the North Carolina Education Lottery brochure shows  $150 and $200 winning levels.  They advertise up to $500 instant wins so I was disappointed that I did not get an instant win, and even if all five of my numbers were a match, I would not have claimed more than $77.    The EzMatch was not worth the extra dollar for me.  That was my experience with it.
