From morning until midnight, North Carolina Cash Pop gives you five chances every day to win great prizes. You only have to match one number between 1 and 15 to get a payout, and it could be worth up to $2,500. Here are the five daily draw times:
Your ticket will show you how much you could win. Each number you have picked will be shown in a circle, alongside a prize value. This amount is generated at random, but will always be between 5x and 250x your wager amount.
If you wager $10, it is therefore possible to win $2,500. Play the minimum $1 and you could still bank $250.
Your chances of winning are always 1 in 15 for each number that you play. However, the odds for each prize appearing on your ticket are different. It is more likely, for example, that the payout amount will be 5x your wager amount than 250x.
The following table shows the possible prizes for each play amount, along with the odds of winning that amount.

Cash Pop is about as simple as a lottery gets, as there is only one winning number in each draw. To play, start by picking your numbers - also known as Pops.
You can select as many as you want - you only need to choose one, but you can boost your odds of winning by picking more. You can even play all the numbers from 1 to 15 to get a guaranteed win! There are also Quick Pick options for playing one or five numbers if you would prefer to enter a random selection.
There isn’t one fixed ticket price in Cash Pop. Instead, you can wager $1, $2, $5, or $10. The more you pay per play, the more you can win.
You can play up to five consecutive drawings. The total cost is calculated by multiplying your wager amount by how many numbers you play, and also the number of draws. For example, if you play two numbers at $3 per Pop, and enter four drawings, the cost would be $24 (2 x 3 x 4).
In Cash Pop, you just have to match one number between 1 and 15 to win. The prize you receive is shown on your ticket and will be between 5x and 250x your wager amount. You can play for $1, $2, $5 or $10. Five drawings take place every day, from the 9:00 AM Morning Buzz game to the 11:59 PM Midnight Money.
Tickets are on sale until 15 seconds before each drawing takes place.
No - the game is only available in-store at NC Lottery retailers.
