| S.C. Education Lottery Celebrates 2 Years |
| The South Carolina Education Lottery is
celebrating its second anniversary. With the anniversary come the
announcements of two new ad campaigns including a jingle and
testimonials from scholarship recipients. Over the past two years, the lottery has given more than $429 million to education. More than 100,000 students are receiving scholarships and there have been more than $871 million in prizes awarded. Lottery funds also helped buy $8 million in school buses for South Carolina this year. Lottery officials say every time you play, education wins. Tina McDonald used lottery funds to build-up her classroom library and she says it's made a big difference. “I can just go over and pull a book on matter or weather and read a book to them or have them take it home to study it,” McDonald said.
