A lottery contest in South Carolina is asking pet owners to submit photos of their dogs for a chance to have the animals featured on $2 Happy Pawlidays scratch-off tickets.
The South Carolina Education Lottery produced its first ticket sale in January 2002 and has since "transferred $7.2 billion for appropriation by the General Assembly," the agency shared.
Lottery boards throughout the country offer scratch-off games, which have potential prizes hidden under concealed spots. Players get to choose which spots they want to reveal. Some choices can yield an in-store cash payout or a larger prize. Last year, the South Carolina Education Lottery recorded its second-best year with $564 million transferred to education, $2.26 billion in ticket sales, $1.49 billion in prize winnings and $157.7 million commissioned to retailers, according to the lottery agency's website.
