The bill S. 169 aims to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws regarding the sale of lottery tickets. It specifically modifies Section 59-150-70 to prohibit the use of checks, credit cards, charge cards, and other forms of deferred payment for lottery purchases, mandating that all sales must be conducted in cash only. Additionally, it introduces a new provision in Section 59-150-210 that requires all lottery sales to occur in person at licensed retailers or locations approved by the Lottery Commission, while also banning the use of lottery courier services.

These changes are intended to tighten regulations surrounding lottery sales, ensuring that transactions are straightforward and secure by limiting payment methods and sales locations. The bill will take effect upon receiving approval from the Governor.
