Some South Carolina lotto players are twice as lucky. It seems there was a goof entering the winning numbers from a Pick 4 game into the computer system. So, the state lottery is paying off on both sets of numbers from Saturday's drawing.

The actual winning numbers are 7-2-4-5. The mistaken numbers programmed into the computer were 1-2-4-5. The winning tickets are worth $100 to $5,000 each.

Lottery officials say they're investigating how the glitch happened.
