COLUMBIA, S.C. — More than a year after someone in South Carolina won an $878 million lottery jackpot, 1.2 million of the state’s taxpayers are getting their own modest windfall from that lucky day. The South Carolina Revenue Department said Friday it began mailing out $50 rebate checks to state income taxpayers. The money represents the taxes paid on the gargantuan winnings.

About 400,000 checks went out this week and all 1.2 million checks — sent out in zip code order — should be in the mail by Dec. 2,Republican Gov. Henry McMaster originally suggested $200 million be sent back to taxpayers as the state had an influx of money from lawsuit settlements and from rising tax revenues as the economy hums along and more people move in.— the $61 million in state income tax that would have to be paid by the person who bought the only winning lottery ticket for a $1.

That guy should have got a better tax guy. 🙄

I’m sure people appreciate the $50. But I feel a lot better good would have been done if the government had kept and used that money for infrastructure, etc. That’s what taxes are supposed to be used for....

Tax the Rich and see what that gets you... HealthCare Education Better roads Money for police and fire services Help with student debt

Hopefully it's only going to tax payers, not just citizens as stated. It's all about fairness, right libs? (Crickets)

Socialism in SC?

A state with a Republican legislature and Republican governor chooses to send everyone a tiny amount of money instead of putting those tax dollars to good public use. And the people who need the money most won't get it, because the rebate only goes to those who paid income taxes.

If one of today’s Democrat nominees for president were actually the President, the only thing he would have left, after taxes, would be $50. The government would have taken the rest.

Every American over the age of 18 could get $1000/month FOR LIFE if AndrewYang is voted into office as president.
