South Carolina is a member of the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL), best known for Powerball.
The system for selecting the numbers is the same as the pick 3 game and made up from a 4 compartment machine.
Adding fireball gives players an extra number to improve their chances of winning a prize.
The odds of winning fireball prizes depend on the numbers chosen and play type.
Unlike Mega Millions's Megaplier, and Powerball's PowerPlay, the Power-Up multiplier also applied to the top prize, meaning players could multiply their winnings up to $1 million cash with every game that has a $2 purchase ($1 base game play and a $1 Power-Up add on).
The SCEL was among the powerball members to join the game during the 2010 cross sell expansion.
For an extra $1 on each set, the players can ADD megaplier to multiply any non jackpot prize up to 5 times.
The South Carolina Education Lottery offered several games which would later be discontinued for a reason.
On December 2, 2009, the SCEL announced that this game would end on the drawing on Tuesday, December 29, 2009, to avoid confusion with the multi state Mega Millions game that the lottery has joined in January 2010.
Players would pick 6 numbers from 1–38 to try to win a top prize of $200,000 taxes paid.

The top prize ($1,000 a day for life) was won by matching all the numbers on one set.
South Carolina was also the first lucky for life participating state to have a top prize winner after the game offered the current format.
On Tue, Apr 22, 2021, the SCEL announced that it would end its participation of this game on the drawing on Mon, Jun 28, 2021 drawing to explore some exciting new game opportunities for players that will launch in the coming months and enhance funding for education.
