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 law that prohibits all sales except for cash payments. The bill outlines that all sales must be conducted using cash or debit card payments only, effectively removing the previous prohibition on debit card transactions.

In addition to the changes regarding payment methods, the bill maintains various regulations concerning the operation of lottery games, including the categories of games, sale prices, prize amounts, and methods of selecting winning tickets. The bill is set to take effect upon approval by the Governor, aiming to enhance the convenience of purchasing lottery tickets for the public while ensuring the integrity and efficient operation of the lottery system.
