COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - The South Carolina Lottery is getting ready to find a new leader.
The Board of Commissioners for the lottery plans to meet Tuesday to discuss its search for a new executive director.
Ernie Passailaigue was hired earlier this month to start up the Arkansas lottery. He had run South Carolina's lottery since it began in 2002.
South Carolina paid Passailaigue nearly $227,000. He will make nearly $100,000 more in Arkansas.
