How to Play Palmetto Cash 5
Palmetto Cash 5 is a five-number game from the South Carolina Education Lottery. Drawings are held seven days a week at 6:59 p.m. and are televised live on local stations. There are four ways to win prizes from $1 up to $100,000. Each play costs $1. For an additional $1, players can purchase POWER-UP for a chance to multiply all prizes by the POWER-UP number drawn, 2, 3, 5, or 10 times.
1 Pick your numbers
Select five numbers from 1 to 38 on a play slip. Use one panel (PLAY A – PLAY E) for each desired play. Each play costs $1.
2 Quick Pick
If you prefer having any or all of your numbers selected at random by the terminal, mark the “QUICK PICK” box for each play. All plays and play options selected on the play slip will be valid for the specified draw only.
3 Power-Up
Marking the "POWER-UP OPTION" increases the cost of each play to $2. If you purchase the POWER-UP multiplier option and win a prize, the prize will automatically be multiplied by the POWER-UP number drawn. The POWER-UP number is randomly drawn from 28 balls: sixteen balls are marked with the number “2”; ten are marked with the number “3;” one is marked with the number “5;” and one is marked with the number “10.”
4 Multi-draws
Play up to 40 consecutive draws by marking the appropriate box under “MULTI-DRAW OPTION.” Each consecutive draw will cost $1 or $2 per draw with the Power-Up option. NOTE: Multi-draw selections will be consecutive from the draw date requested.
5 Sign the Back of the Ticket
Upon purchase SIGN the ticket back and SECURE your ticket. Check your selections to make sure they are correct. Player is solely responsible for verifying all selections on the ticket. PRINTED PALMETTO CASH 5 TICKETS CANNOT BE CANCELED.
DO NOT ERASE. If you make an error, mark the "VOID PLAY" box over the selected play. You must be 18 years of age to play.
