About South Carolina (SC) Lottery

When compared to lotteries of other states in the United States of America, we can say that the South Carolina Education Lottery is relatively new. Since its fairly recent launch on January 7, 2002, the SC Lottery has not been slow in catching up to the lotteries of the other states.

Even though the South Carolina lottery has not been accessible for a large amount of time, about half of inhabitants of this state have partaken in lottery games of the state. All of the players of SC Lottery are very involved in frequently checking and keeping an eye on the most recent SC lottery results.

Just like every other state in the United States, the South Carolina Education lottery has its own peculiarities or interests as well, such as inhabitants of the state not being able to buy tickets whenever there are any elections – whether general or primary. 

South Carolina Lottery Results have changed the lives of many, despite being a fairly newer lottery organization in the scene.

GAMES OF SOUTH CAROLINA LOTTERY:

The South Carolina lottery is best known for its lotto games, because we can say that it is not only a strong competitor in the case, but is also consistently achieving more than the lotteries in its neighboring states such as Georgia and North Carolina.

Other games that guarantee SC Lottery winning numbers for most players include Pick 3 Midday, Pick 3 Evening, Pick 4 Midday, Pick 4 Evening, Palmetto Cash 5, Lucky for Life, Mega Millions and even the well-known Powerball.

Palmetto Cash 5 is one of the most famous lottery games played in America. This is because this game offers the biggest jackpots (up to $100,000) to players who are winning. In this game, you have to choose any five numbers ranging from 1-38, and then pick whether you want to use the Power-Up feature or not, as it lets you multiply your prize if you are winning.

Pick 3 Evening is a well-known game played in most states, which lets players choose their own three numbers daily and even pick how to play them. It was launched in July 1998 and has two versions, the other one being Pick 3 Midday, which was launched September 2003.

Pick 4 Midday and Pick 4 Evening were also launched in September 2003, and are also provide players with various choices throughout.

Lucky for Life is one of the most popular and exciting lottery games to be played ever, since its launch in 2002. It costs $2 to play and players can win the top prize of $1,000 daily, for the rest of their lives. If they get lucky, they also get a second prize of $25,000 every year, forever.

Mega Millions (since 1996) and Powerball (since 1992) are two very similar games which are extremely famous for their big jackpots. The biggest prize of both the games so far has been more than $1.5 billion. These two games can literally change winning players’ lives.

At what age can I purchase lottery tickets in South Carolina?
On the day that you buy the ticket, you must be at least 18 years old.
Can South Carolina Lottery tickets be purchased online?
No. The phrase "online game" is unrelated to the Internet. In actuality, you may only purchase lottery tickets from authorized lottery retailers. Thus, The Pick 3, Pick 4, CASH POP, Palmetto Cash 5, Mega Millions, and Powerball games are all considered to be "online" games under this definition.
Can lottery winners in South Carolina maintain their anonymity?
As mentioned on the South Carolina lottery commission website, there is an option for lottery winners to remain anonymous. Lottery winners can decide to come forward or stay anonymous in South Carolina, one of just a few states that allow this. Winners are not compelled to make their names known to the public. The general public is not given any location data. The public is not given any prize details. Winners' photos are not made available to the general public. However, freedom of Information Act requests are permitted for all lottery winner data. As a result, while some information might not always be publicly disclosed, requests for details might still be fulfilled.
What happens if I misplace my ticket for the South Carolina Lottery?
Lost or stolen tickets are not the responsibility of SCEL. A lost ticket is equivalent to losing money because it cannot be replaced.

However, keep in mind that you can only collect lottery prizes worth more than $500 up to $100,000 by going to one of the South Carolina Education Lottery validation offices.
Can my winning ticket be redeemed by mail in South Carolina?
Yes, you can mail in your claim for lottery winnings together with a completed claim form and identification proof from the government. However, this is only true for lottery winners of $500 to $100,000. Before mailing the claim form and winning ticket, don't forget to make a copy of both. A Winner Claim Form, which is downloadable on the official website or at any nearby lottery store, must be submitted with prize claims that exceed $500.The mailing address for the South Carolina Lottery is as follows: SC Education Lottery, P.O.

Will South Carolina income taxes apply to my lottery winnings?
Yes. Lottery winnings exceeding $500 will have taxes withheld by SCEL. If a lottery prize exceeds $500, state income tax must be withheld automatically as required by law from both residents and nonresidents of South Carolina.

If a South Carolina lottery winner passes away, what happens to the unclaimed prize money?
If a duplicate of the trust document or instrument has been submitted to the commission with a written consent letter of notice from the settlor and no formal notice of revocation has been submitted to the commission prior to the settlor's death, any prize or part of a prize that is still unpaid at the time of the settlor's death shall be paid to the estate of the settlor or to the trustee of the trust created by the departed prize winner.
