COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - South Carolina lottery players will soon
get to take a chance on two more multimillion-dollar jackpots a
week.
South Carolina Education Lottery spokeswoman Stephanie
Hemminghaus says the commission voted Tuesday to enter the Mega
Millions multistate drawing. The new game could start as soon as
January 31.
Lottery officials say the new game gives South Carolina players
a chance at two large sweepstakes with games on Tuesday, Wednesday,
Friday and Saturday. South Carolina already sells Powerball
tickets, which has drawings on Wednesday and Saturday.
Mega Millions holds the record for the largest U.S. lottery
jackpot - $390 million on March 6, 2007. The largest Powerball
jackpot was $365 million on Feb. 18, 2006.
