Keep reading, the crazy goes deep:

Will you be Getting $50 from South Carolina?

This December, 57% of SC taxpayers will be getting checks for $50 in the mail. This is a rebate from lottery money the state got when we had a huge winner.

How do you know if you will get one?

Simple, if you got all your SC tax withholding back last year (or they kept less than $50) - no check

If you don't file your 2018 (last year) tax return by October 15th - no check

If you are married and filed jointly - you get one check for both of you.

Most military spouses working in SC get all their taxes back (or should) - that means no check

As best I can tell it's as simple as that.
