Frequently Asked Questions

1. What if I lose my winning ticket before claiming?

Unfortunately, a lottery ticket is a "bearer instrument" – whoever holds it can claim the prize. Always sign the back immediately and keep it safe! Without the physical ticket, you cannot claim your winnings.

2. Can I claim a prize online or by phone?

No. For security reasons, South Carolina requires physical ticket validation. Small prizes at retailers, larger prizes by mail or in-person only.

3. What is the "FIREBALL" number in Pick 3 and Pick 4?

It’s an extra number drawn that you can use to replace any one of the regular drawn numbers to make a winning combination. It gives you more ways to win!

4. Do I have to pay taxes on lottery winnings?

Yes. All lottery winnings are taxable income. For prizes over $5,000, the lottery withholds 24% for federal taxes and 7% for SC state taxes. You may owe more when filing your tax return.

5. Can I stay anonymous if I win a big prize?

No. South Carolina law requires the lottery to release the winner’s name, city, and prize amount upon request. However, your street address and phone number remain private.
