For the past decade, South Carolina stores have been selling lottery tickets for both statewide and national games.
Above you will find a tool to search for SC counties that you are interested in. You will find the amount of lottery funds between 2003 and 2011 that were spent on K-12 education, scholarships and libraries.
You will also find those totals divided up per-capita and statewide.
The details are available on the S.C. Education Lottery home page.
