COLUMBIA, SC -- Some South Carolina residents are furious after a South Carolina Education Lottery glitch led them to believe they had a winning ticket, when they did not.

The line of people who thought they had won, stretched around the South Carolina Lottery headquarters.

When the lottery players got inside they were informed that they did not have winning tickets.

A programming glitch that lasted a few hours caused people who played a particular holiday “Tic-Tac-Toe” like game to win nearly every time they played.

The South Carolina Lottery says they will make a decision on exactly what to do by Friday, but most were not any happier with that response.
