South Carolina Lottery officials suspended sales of the Pick 3 and Pick 4 games Thursday after there was a problem upgrading software.
It was not clear when sales or cashing in of winning tickets would resume, South Carolina Education Lottery spokeswoman Tara Robertson said.
"It's an accounting issue on both parts, in cashing in and on what the retailer owes the lottery on their invoice," she said. "If you were to come in and cash a ticket and it was for $1, it may say that it's for $2 or vice versa."
The problem occurred after the midday drawings. Thursday night's Pick 3 and Pick 4 drawings took place as scheduled at 6:59 p.m.
The company that helps operate the games, Scientific Games International, recommended the lottery stop selling Pick 3 and Pick 4 tickets after the software installed Thursday morning didn't work as expected, Robertson said.
Sales of Palmetto Cash 5 and Powerball tickets were not affected.
Who is writing their software, ex-Ford engineers? Quality, Job Ten. Recall, Job One.
May be software was written by outsourced company in India

I keep an eye on SC lottery every now and again because if the MUSL ever slips up and lets my numbers come out, I'm making a beeline for Horry County ;-) (Beachfront in North Myrtle Beach... Paradise on earth)
I was out in the hot tub with the Mrs. at 10PM at Seawatch resort in NMB,SC getting cooled off by the occasional warm rain bands of Ophelia as she passed by thinking I would trade this for a freezing rain storm in PA anyday! OF course, I wouldn't have wanted to be in NC, where she made landfall.
SC already loses days because it's NOT allowed to sell tickets when an election is held. AFAIK it's the only state to have such a prohibition.

You can't buy a lottery ticket but you can buy all the beer you want on election day. Cheers.

Hey Ya'll I'm a Tarheel from the camel city. I'm having a problem deciphering the letters LOL. Does this stand for lots of luck or lot of loosers? Being a neighbor to S.C. with family and friends there, I'm very familiar with S.C. especially on the coast line. The home folk are't loosers, I can't speak for the Establishment / the controling part of the lottery. they are babbies just starting out a few years ago ! I hope they grow up fast.
You gots to be kidding me.
Ever heard of google?
SC doesn't need to lose any more sales. It is prohibited from selling tickets on days when elections are held.
