What a Crock of crap, you can go to the casino, play keno, ect..... SECTION 59-150-210 (E) A lottery ticket or share must not be sold on the date of any general or primary election; for a lottery game other than that defined in Section 59-150-20(7); or for a lottery game with corporate sponsorship. SECTION 59-150-20. (7) "Lottery", "lotteries", " lottery game", or "lottery games" means a game of chance approved by the General Assembly and operated pursuant to this chapter including, but not limited to, the lottery game categories of instant tickets, on-line lottery games and drawing numbers but excluding keno, pari- mutuel betting, and casino gambling as defined in this section. The operation of the lottery games excludes machines and lottery games, including video poker lottery games, prohibited by Sections 12-21-2710, 16-19-40, and 16-19-50. The access and use of an electronic or mechanical machine designed for a lottery game authorized pursuant to this chapter must be limited to a lottery retailer and his employees only in order to facilitate retail sales of lottery tickets, and such a machine must not dispense anything other than lottery tickets. South Carolina Code of Laws by Chuck Humphrey SECTION 16-19-90. Betting on elections. Any person who shall make any bet or wager of money or wager of any other thing of value or shall have any share or part in any bet or wager of money or wager of any other thing of value upon any election in this State shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, shall be fined in a sum not exceeding five hundred dollars and be imprisoned not exceeding one month. On That Note, In My Opinion I bet Nikki Haley wins The Republican Primary. Since My opinion holds no value, i should be safe. CB I sure hope so,cause I'm fixing to go cast my vote---for the ladies!

HILARIOUS FUNNY LAW!! When i lived in Los Angeles 77 thru 84 the only time you could NOT buy alcohol was between the hours of 4-5 a.m ... 7 days a week. I don't know if its still the same, but it sure made partying easier!!!!  "as long as you win more than you lose...gamblins' not a problem" | | |

You buy your tickets for advance play for the day the machines are down. They still have the drawings. I have an advance play ticket which I purchased for todays drawing. Interesting. I wonder how many people thought to buy their tickets ahead of time? "No one remembers the person who almost climbed the mountain, only the person who eventually gets to the top."

Oh, this is interesting. I wonder if not being able to purchase lottery tickets on election days results in a higher per capita of voting by registered voters on election days vs. other states. I'd enjoy reading an depth research article!  
Having millions of dollars in my financial accounts means more, consistent fun for me.

UnOfficial Results, 45 of 46 Counties Reporting 1 county still reporting...Spartanburg Gresham Barrett (REP)  21.76% 91,461 Andre Bauer (REP) 12.45% 52,324 Nikki R Haley (REP) 48.86% 205,360 Henry McMaster (REP) 16.94% 71,187 Nikki Haley (R) weathered a series of personal attacks to narrowly miss winning the Republican gubernatorial nomination outright tonight. She will advance to a June 22 runoff as a clear favorite for the GOP nod. Haley stood at 49 percent of the vote, well ahead of Rep. Gresham Barrett who took 22 percent. The Associated Press called a runoff shortly before 10 pm eastern time, however, concluding that Haley would not break 50 percent of the vote. State Attorney General Henry McMaster and Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer lagged far behind.

I agree. If anything you are reducing the amount of money that could be raised for education because people can't play on that day, so less bucks for education coming in. Or people could just buy the day b4. You are just inconveniencing people by making them buy their tickets on a different day. It reminds me of these 1 day gas boycotts. They'll designate Monday as a boycott day. So people will just buy gas on Tues. or Sun. and it has no effect on the oil companies bottom line. It's nonsense. It's like the stupid blue laws here in CT that prohibit sales of alcohol on Sunday, making people buy on Sat. Of course, you can walk into a bar on Sunday in CT get loaded and drive home drunk, makes perfect sense, huh? | | |
