The bill S. 80 proposes an amendment to Section 59-150-70 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, specifically addressing the payment methods for lottery game tickets. The amendment allows for payment by debit card, which is a significant change from the current regulations that only permit cash payments. The bill stipulates that all sales must be conducted using cash or debit card payments exclusively, while prohibiting payments by checks, credit cards, or other forms of deferred payment.

In addition to the changes regarding payment methods, the bill maintains the existing framework for lottery game regulations, including categories of games, sale prices, prize amounts, and methods for selecting winning tickets. The amendment aims to enhance the convenience of purchasing lottery tickets for players while ensuring the integrity and efficient operation of the lottery system in South Carolina. The act will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
