COLUMBIA, SC (April 14, 2009) – Festival goers will find more than shrimp and grits on the menu at this year’s Taste of Beaufort May 2. They can enjoy sampling a lottery ticket or two!
The South Carolina Education Lottery (SCEL) will be selling a full array of lottery tickets during the event from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 2.
A $10 lottery purchase will allow players to spin the prize wheel for great promotional items including T-shirts, sunglasses, koozies and a Carnival® cruise for two!
