What this means at the counter
A North Carolina game on this list can still pay its smaller prizes, and it still has the overall odds it was printed with โ those describe the whole run, including every prize already claimed. What it cannot do is pay the prize on the poster. The lottery is not required to pull it, and generally does not.

What this does not say
That the other 86 games are worth buying. Every scratch game returns less than it takes in, and a full prize ladder does not change that. This tells you which tickets can no longer pay what they advertise.
