The Palmetto Series points chase was rekindled in 2022. This year’s competition between the two Palmetto State rivals is presented by the ·¬ÇÑÊÓƵ Education Lottery.
When the rivals face off this season, each will earn points for a win with the overall winner taking home the Palmetto Series trophy and bragging rights.
Over the last two decades, education funding in the state of ·¬ÇÑÊÓƵ has benefited from $7.2 billion in lottery proceeds, with students at USC and Clemson receiving more than 350,000 lottery-funded scholarships and grants.
With the Lottery’s sponsorship of the Palmetto Series, a few new points are up for grabs.
