SC Lottery to Refund CASH POP Tickets Printed in Error

11/18/2025 5:16:02 PM

COLUMBIA, SC (November 19, 2025) – Any lottery player who holds a CASH POP ticket for the Monday, November 17, 2025 drawing with the draw specified as “ALL” will be reimbursed the purchase price of this ticket.

These tickets were printed in error. A total of 214 CASH POP tickets were affected. The ticket holders chose to purchase their tickets for consecutive draws. This decision is required by South Carolina Code Section 59-150-230(C)(3)(a) which provides that prizes arising from a ticket produced or issued in error must not be paid.

CASH POP tickets should print for either a “DAY” or “EVE” draw, not “ALL” as appeared on the tickets eligible for a refund. See example below:

CASH POP Ticket Example

The South Carolina Education Lottery’s terminal game vendor Brightstar Lottery has identified and fixed the technical issue that caused the error and CASH POP sales have resumed.

To seek the refund of the purchase price of the tickets, a player should mail the original CASH POP tickets (no copies or other reproductions will be processed for reimbursement) to this address: S.C. Education Lottery, P.O. Box 11039, Columbia, SC 29211-1039. 

Include your name and return address.  The Lottery will refund the purchase price for each returned ticket and reimburse the player for postage up to the amount of first class USPS postage for the ticket(s) submitted to the Lottery.  Players can also drop off tickets at the Lottery’s Columbia Claims Center.

Requests for CASH POP refunds must be received by the Lottery no later than Friday, January 16, 2026.
