Columbia, SC: The South Carolina Education Lottery (SCEL) will commence releasing instant ticket sales based on pack settlements by its retail agents on Monday, April 8, 2002
During the SCEL’s start up period, it was necessary to estimate instant tickets sales from data provided by Scientific Games, International (SGI). Because we have been selling instant tickets since January 7, 2002, the SCEL is now able to provided instant ticket sales as each pack is settled. This is the same method used by all other mature lotteries.
On-line sales are recorded on a real time basis and are not affected by this change.
