How to Set Up North Carolina Lottery Services Portal Access
North Carolina Education Lottery retailers use the Lottery Services Portal to access reports, store profiles, messages, training links, forms, and account tools. Chain account users can also manage secondary users and report subscriptions from the portal.
For a convenience store or gas station, North Carolina Lottery Services Portal access gives your team a cleaner way to review lottery activity, download reports, check store performance, and manage user access without relying only on paper records or separate files.

LottoReco lottery accounting
Accurate Lottery & Scratcher Accounting.
Catch errors before they cost you thousands
LottoReco is software for convenience stores that want lottery accounting and auditing handled in one workflow after setup.
- Count scratcher inventory by pack and ticket.
- Compare scratcher sales against POS reported sales.
- Match payouts between the lottery system and POS.
- Compare lotto sales across POS and lottery reports.
- Track pack activations, returns, and daily totals.
Once connected, shift checks can take about 1-2 minutes instead of a long manual closeout.
Before you start
You will need:
- Your North Carolina Chain ID or Retailer ID
- The person who should become the Primary User for the chain headquarters or retailer account
- A working email address for verification and login
- Personal information and security information for the registration form
- Access to your email inbox for the activation link
- If your Chain ID, Retailer ID, or Primary User status is unclear, use the portal FAQ, Contact Us, or your NC Education Lottery representative before creating duplicate accounts.
Only one user per Chain Headquarters can self-register. That user becomes the Primary User and can create unlimited Secondary Users through Manage Users. Primary Users can also enable or disable self-registration for managers or franchisees through Settings, then Subordinate Registration.

For a chain account, the self-registered Chain Headquarters user becomes the Primary User. The Primary User can create, suspend, or delete Secondary Users from Manage Users after the account is active.
Primary Users can use Settings, then Subordinate Registration, to enable or disable self-registration for managers or franchisees. They can also use Settings for My Account, Subscriptions, and Logout.
