South Carolina Pick 3 Results
South Carolina Pick 3 is a daily draw game operated by the South Carolina Education Lottery where players select a three-digit number from 000 to 999 and attempt to match the winning numbers drawn. Pick 3 stands out for its flexibility: players can choose from six distinct play types, wager either $0.50 or $1.00, and play up to two drawings per day. The game also features the FIREBALL add-on, which introduces an additional number that can substitute for any one of the three drawn digits, dramatically expanding the number of potential winning combinations. With prizes up to $500 on a base play (or up to $540 with Fireball), Pick 3 offers frequent winning opportunities at an accessible price point.

FIREBALL Add-On: FIREBALL is an optional add-on that gives players additional ways to win. After each Pick 3 drawing, a separate FIREBALL number (0 through 9) is drawn. The FIREBALL number can replace any one of the three Pick 3 winning numbers to create new winning combinations. All FIREBALL prizes are awarded in addition to any base game prizes.
Cost: Adding FIREBALL doubles the cost of the base play (e.g., a $1.00 Straight becomes $2.00; a $3.00 6-Way Combo becomes $6.00).

South Carolina Palmetto Cash 5
Palmetto Cash 5 is South Carolina's flagship in-state jackpot game, offering a **rolling jackpot** that starts at $100,000 and grows by a minimum of $10,000 every day until someone wins. Drawings are held seven nights a week, making it one of the most frequently drawn jackpot games in the state. What makes Palmetto Cash 5 unique is its **built-in multiplier system**: every ticket automatically includes a random multiplier (2x, 3x, 5x, or 10x) that is applied to all non-jackpot prizes at no additional cost. This means a $300 Match 4 prize could become $3,000 with a 10x multiplier, all for the base $2 ticket price. The game replaced its former optional Power-Up add-on with these built-in multipliers, and the number field was expanded from 1-38 to 1-42 with the ticket price increasing from $1 to $2.
