Ending North Carolina Scratch-Offs (September 2026)

Data captured September 9, 2026 · 21 games no longer on sale

21 North Carolina scratch-offs have stopped selling but can still be claimed (as of September 9, 2026). 20 of them still list an unclaimed top prize. Ending games are worth a look only if you already hold tickets: check the last claim date and whether the prizes you might hold are still unpaid.

When a lottery ends a game it stops shipping tickets first, then closes claims some months later. In between, tickets already in the wild remain winners. The reason to read this page is the second column: if you have a drawer of old tickets, the last claim date tells you how long you have, and the prizes-left figure tells you whether anything worth claiming is still outstanding.

Frequently asked questions

How many North Carolina scratch-offs are ending?
21 have stopped selling but still accept claims, as of September 9, 2026.
Can I still claim a prize on an ending game?
Yes, until the last claim date shown for that game. After that the prize is forfeited, no matter how large. If you hold old tickets, check them against this list now.
What happens to prizes nobody claims?
They stay unclaimed. 20 of these ending games still list at least one unclaimed top prize, which is money that will most likely never be paid out.
Should I buy a game that is ending?
Generally no: retailers may still have stock, but the good prizes are usually gone and the claim window is closing. The exception is a game whose payout is still high because large prizes remain unclaimed, which you can check on its page.
