Each fall, the rivalry between the University of South Carolina and Clemson University takes center stage — and this year, there’s more than football on the line.

The South Carolina Education Lottery is again spotlighting the rivalry with Carolina and Clemson scratch-off tickets, a fun way to show school spirit while celebrating something even bigger: the impact of lottery-funded scholarships.

Since 2002, more than 244,000 scholarships and grants — including LIFE, SC HOPE, and Palmetto Fellows — have helped University of South Carolina students pursue their education. More than 197,000 Clemson students have benefited from lottery-supported opportunities, receiving critical aid to help make college more accessible and affordable

Whether you cheer for garnet and black or orange and purple, one thing is clear: education wins. Every ticket sold helps provide funding for scholarships and grants that give South Carolina students the chance to learn, grow, and lead.
