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