Lucky for Life is a multistate game — the winning numbers above are the same in North Carolina as in every other participating state, with drawings held Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. What's specific to North Carolina is the tax on your winnings and how you claim a prize.
Federal tax: the IRS withholds 24% up front on lottery prizes over $5,000, and the top federal rate is 37%. For your North Carolina-specific take-home after state tax, use the North Carolina jackpot tax calculator, or see Lucky for Life odds & prizes.
