Yes — North Carolina scratch tickets and North Carolina scratch-offs are the same thing: a paper lottery ticket you scratch to reveal whether it wins. The North Carolina Lottery lists them under "Scratch-Offs" on its own site. "Scratch Tickets" is simply what most players in North Carolina call them, while "scratch-off" and "scratch ticket" are the terms used in other states. Every game ranked on this page is the same physical ticket, whichever name you use for it.

Xtreme Cashword, a $5 North Carolina scratch-off, was released on Oct 1, 2024 by the North Carolina Lottery.
