Pick up a Palmetto Cash 5 play slip at any South Carolina Education Lottery online retailer. Use ONLY a pencil or a penwith blue or black ink to fill out a play slip. Red ink will NOT be accepted. Be VERY CAREFUL not to make stray marks onthe play slip as the lottery terminal may confuse the marks for numbers or play options. If you make an error in your numberselection, DO NOT ERASE. Simply mark the "VOID" box at the bottom of the play area and move on to the next play area.
2. There are five different play areas on a single play slip, marked "PLAY A" through "PLAY E." Each box represents a DIFFERENTPalmetto Cash 5 play. Each play costs $1. All selected numbers for a single play should be in the same play area. Playersmay purchase up to five plays per play slip.
3. Mark five different numbers from 1 to 38. Make a heavy vertical mark in the appropriate boxes in each play area. Or,if you prefer having any or all of your plays selected at random by the lottery terminal, mark the "QUICK PICK" box at thebottom of the play area.
4. Players may choose to purchase the POWER-UP multiplier option for the chance to increase their winnings up to five times. The POWER-UP option costs an extra dollar per play. The POWER-UP number is drawn in a separate drawing following the PalmettoCash 5 drawing and is not selected by the player. If you play the POWER-UP multiplier option and win a prize, the prizewill automatically be multiplied by the POWER-UP number. The POWER-UP number is randomly drawn from sixteen balls: eightballs are marked with the number "2"; five are marked with the number "3"; two are marked with the number "4" and one ismarked with the number "5."
5. All plays and play options selected on the play slip will be valid for the selected draw only. Play up to 20 consecutivedraws by marking the appropriate box under the heading "MULTI DRAW." NOTE: Each consecutive draw will cost an extra dollar. So a play slip with the number "5" marked in the "MULTI DRAW" area will cost $5 and will be valid for the next five draws. Marking the "POWER-UP" multiplier option increases the cost of each play marked on the play slip from $1 to $2; therefore,5 multi draws with Power-Up would cost $10 and would be valid for the next five draws.
