COLUMBIA, SC (November 15, 2021) – The South Carolina Education Lottery has temporarily suspended sales for the Pick 3 and Pick 4 games. An issue caused some tickets purchased on November 15th after the midday drawing to default to the November 22 midday drawing instead of tonight’s drawing.
Sales will resume once the issue has been resolved.
Tonight’s evening drawing at 6:59 p.m. will be held as planned for Pick 3 and Pick 4. Retailers are able to cash winning Pick 3 and Pick 4 tickets. No other games are affected.
Pick 3 and Pick 4 tickets sold today for the Monday, November 22 midday draw will be valid for that drawing and claims will be honored after that drawing is held.
A player with a non-winning ticket purchased after the 12:59 p.m. midday draw on November 15, 2021, for the November 22 midday draw should contact the Lottery for a full refund. Players should mail the original Pick 3 or Pick 4 ticket(s) to the following address:
S.C. Education Lottery
Attn: Pick 3/Pick 4 Refund
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. Since these reimbursements will require manual processing, we ask that players mail in all tickets to avoid wait time at the Claims Center.
Requests for refunds must be postmarked no later than February 14, 2022 to obtain a refund.
