Van discussed the different types of NC Lottery games that can be played, from the big money plays down to the $1 scratch off. All games are the luck of the scratch off ticket one purchases or the numbers that one picks for Mega Millions, Cash 5, Cash 4, or Cash 3 tickets. Choosing to play or not is a personal choice.
