The South Carolina Education Lottery posted results for its draw games on April 23, 2026, giving players a fresh check on Pick 3, Pick 4, Cash Pop and Palmetto Cash 5. The update also points readers to payout pages and previous drawings for Pick 3 Plus FIREBALL, Pick 4 Plus FIREBALL, Cash Pop and Palmetto Cash 5.
That matters because draw-game players do not have unlimited time to cash a ticket. All prizes for draw games must be claimed within 180 days of the draw date, and the state lottery sets different claim steps depending on the amount won.
Prizes up to $500 can be redeemed at any authorized South Carolina Education Lottery retailer. Winnings from $501 to $100,000 must be mailed to the South Carolina Education Lottery Claims Center with a signed winning ticket, a completed claim form and a copy of a government-issued photo ID. Larger prizes above $100,000 must be claimed in person at South Carolina Education Lottery Headquarters in Columbia.
The timing of the games is part of the daily routine for players tracking sc lottery results. Powerball is drawn at 10:59 p.m. ET on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Mega Millions is drawn at 11 p.m. ET on Tuesday and Friday. Pick 3 is drawn daily at 12:59 p.m. and 6:59 p.m., Pick 4 follows the same schedule, and Cash Pop is also drawn daily at 12:59 p.m. and 6:59 p.m.
For players checking April 23 results, the immediate question is not just what the numbers were but whether a ticket is still valid and where it can be cashed. The lottery’s claim deadlines make that part of the process as important as the draw itself.
