Use of debit cards for lottery purchases begins in SC

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WCBD) – The South Carolina Education Lottery will begin allowing the use of debit cards for lottery ticket purchases beginning July 1.

Tickets no longer must be purchased with cash, a requirement South Carolina used to share with only two other states, Tennessee and Wyoming.

State lottery officials said allowing purchases to be made with a debit card is expected to increase revenue by over $50 million, which will increase the revenue that can be used to fund college scholarships or the state’s K-12 school choice program.
