First $100 'Gift A Dream' winner

November 15, 2017 Posted by NC Lottery at 10:16 AM

The season of giving is officially here, and we loved kicking it off with the #GiftADream holiday promotion for our Facebook and Twitter folks. From helping a neighbor who recently lost a loved one to paying for relative's education, the responses really blew us away.

Last week we gave folks the chance to respond to a question on Facebook and Twitter about their dream gift. From all the eligible entries, we drew one at random for a $100 gift card. The Winner is Marybee_44 from her #GiftADream on November 7.

“My #giftadream @nclottery would be help to pay for my 8-year-old to receive professional tutoring to help us with his school work.” – @Marybee_44

So @Marybee_44, when you see this, email us at communication@lotterync.net ASAP so we can get your gift card on the way.

The dreaming doesn’t stop here. You’ve got FOUR more chances to win.

The second chance to win a $100 gift card started Tuesday. And it’s easy enter. Just hop on over to our Facebook or Twitter and check out the pinned post at the top of the page. Tell us your dream gift for someone you love, or the you that you love, using the hashtag #GiftADream. Promotion Rules

Everyone who entered the first drawing – and everyone who participates in the next three weeks – will be entered for a chance to win the grand prize of great thrill: A tree of holiday tickets. It will be decorated with $100 in holiday scratch-offs, including a few Holiday Millionaire tickets. That’s the $10 game with a top prize of $1 million. The grand prize winner gets a $100 gift card, too.

We really loved reading everyone’s #GiftADream wishes.

It’s always nice to dream a little.

Hi there, Jeff. As soon as you sign on to the app, it opens your player dashboard. You can see how many entries you have in drawings by going to the "Draws" icon. The drop down menu on the top defaults to Lucke-Rewards. To see second-chance drawings, you must change the drop down menu to Second Chance. Hope that helps!

Thank you, just lost my niece in a car accident 3 days ago. My wish is that I could take away my brothers pain. I know that’s not possible so if I happen to be chosen I would help him. Thank you. NC Lottery
Hi, Jennifer. We are so sorry to hear about your niece. We want you to be entered into the promotion, so please go to our Facebook or Twitter page and respond to the pinned post with your #GiftADream.
