FAQ – Your Questions Answered
1. What is "FIREBALL" in Pick 3 and Pick 4?
FIREBALL is an extra number drawn that you can use to replace one of the winning numbers on your ticket. This creates more ways to win! For example, if the winning Pick 3 is 1-5-7 and FIREBALL is 3, you could use 3 to make 3-5-7, 1-3-7, or 1-5-3 — giving you extra chances to match.
2. Can I claim a prize online?
No. South Carolina does not currently allow online prize claims. You must either visit a retailer (small prizes), mail your claim (medium), or go in person (large).
3. What if I lose my ticket before signing it?
Anyone who finds it can sign and claim it. Always sign your ticket right after buying it. Treat it like cash!
4. Do I have to pay taxes on lottery winnings?
Yes. For prizes over $5,000, the SC Lottery withholds 24% for federal taxes and 7% for state taxes. You’ll get a W-2G form for your tax return. Consult a tax pro for big wins.
5. Where can I find past results or check if I won an older ticket?
Visit the official game pages linked throughout this article (e.g., Powerball, Pick 3, etc.) — they have searchable archives of past drawings and payouts.
