Let $R\,=\,\oplus _{i=1}^{\infty }\,{{R}_{i}}$ be a graded nil ring. It is shown that primitive ideals in $R$ are homogeneous. Let $A\,=\,\oplus _{i=1}^{\infty }\,{{A}_{i}}$ be a graded non-PI just-infinite dimensional algebra and let $I$ be a prime ideal in $A$. It is shown that either $I\,=\,\{0\}$ or $I\,=\,A$. Moreover, $A$ is either primitive or Jacobson radical.
