I've heard tell that they're starting up a lotto game in S. Caronlina. Is that true? The wife and I will be back on the Strand in early January and we'd sure like to make the trip pay for itself.

Yep, they sure are RMN! It's slated to start on Jan. 7, 2002, and is being promoted as the Education lottery... it's starting off with four instant scratch off games, and I'm sure more to follow.

We'll keep our eyes open, see if there's more info on the number of games and what you'll be able to win.
