Tickets for "Junior Big Ol' Bucks," which has eight top prizes of $50,000 and $11.5 million in cash prizes overall, cost $2 each. Each scratch-off ticket gives players 10 chances to win on each ticket. The odds of winning the top prize are 1 in 1,050,000.

The second new game is "Fire & Ice."

N.C. lottery to launch new $20 per ticket game

The North Carolina lottery has come up with a new scratch-off ticket game offering the chance to win some very big bucks.

But you have to be ready to shell out some big bucks to play.

The lottery starts its first $20 scratch-off ticket, the $200 Million Extravaganza, on Tuesday. The $200 million refers to the total prize money available, not the amount a single player can win.

Lottery starting two new games

The N.C. Education Lottery will introduce two new games Tuesday: the $100 Million Cash Spectacular and Sweetheart Cash II.

The Cash Spectacular is an instant scratch-off ticket with more than $117 million in prizes, according to a news release.

Tickets will be $10, with 10 top prizes of $1 million.

Lottery adds two scratch-off games

The N.C. Education Lottery is introducing two new instant scratch-off tickets.

"Money Tripler" and "7-11" will be in stores starting today.

"Money Tripler" is a $2 instant scratch-off ticket with prizes from $20 to $500 and five top prizes of $30,000. The game offers players the chance to double or triple their prize, if they uncover specially marked symbols.

Lottery fighting Scrooge image

State lottery officials have slapped a holiday bow on a few new games, and they're hoping to get a gift in return.

Holiday-themed tickets and games could help the lottery jump-start sales.

Lotteries across the nation typically see a sales bump during the holiday months of November and December. In North Carolina, the annual holiday promotions come at a time when lottery officials are trying to live down a reputation for stinginess in scratch-off games.
