The South Carolina Education Lottery (SCEL) began in 2002.
South Carolina is a member of the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL), best known for Powerball. Like most US lotteries, on January 31, 2010, it participated in the cross-sell lottery expansion, adding Mega Millions.
SCEL-only games consist of Pick 3, Pick 4, Palmetto Cash 5 and Cash Pop.
The minimum age to purchase SCEL tickets is 18.
