Ah, another reason for me to move to SC. I think all states should have a few centers where a winner can claim his prize. Here we can go to the local office in Fort Myers if we win less than $250,000. For the bigger jackpots, it's necessary to go all the way to Tallahassee.

Speaking of Cash or Annuity, I wonder if that makes a difference? I think it's the size of the prize not the payout that determines where it has to be claimed. Probably every state has different rules.

NC already have a claims center on Clanton Road in Charlotte, NC. You can claim up to $100,000. All over that amount you will have to travel to Raleigh.

It's about time SC made it easier to collect over $600 without having to travel to Columbia.

They showed up for the cake, juice and prizes. But most of all, they came out of convenience.

About 20 people celebrated the grand opening of the South Carolina Education Lottery claims center in Fort Mill on Wednesday morning. The new claims center, located at 377 Carowinds Blvd., will make it easier for local lottery players to cash in their winnings. Before, winners had to travel to Columbia, Greenville or Charleston to claim their prizes.
