The South Carolina Education Lottery is initiating a refund for some of the multi-draw Mega Millions and Powerball tickets purchased prior to the changes announced by the mega games last week. Going further into this, even the starting amount for Jackpots will no longer begin at $40 million. Instead, the winning Jackpot amounts will be announced after each Jackpot is won.

The Jackpot amounts will totally depend on the sale of the game tickets and the interest of the people due to the prevailing COVID-19 situation. Players who purchased the Powerball multi-draw tickets on or before April 2 are eligible for the refund for drawings held on or after April 11. And players who purchased the Mega Millions tickets on or before April 3 are eligible for a refund for drawings held on or after April 10.

You can claim a refund, by submitting a copy of your ticket with a completed refund claim form available at sceducationlottery.com to: Multi-Draw Refund, South Carolina Education Lottery, Post Office Box 11949, Columbia, SC 29211. The deadline for the refund form submission lies on July 30.
