FORT MILL - 'American Idol' lottery tickets are now available for purchase in South Carolina. The prizes include cash and tickets to the 'American Idol' finale.

WCNC showed the new lottery tickets to several parents in Fort Mill on Monday and most did not like what they saw.

Judy Clark has 12 grandchildren. "It looks like 'American Idol' is sponsoring it, and kids would be drawn to it," she said. "I don't think it's right; you need something else."

Bruce White said his 11-year-old daughter loves 'American Idol', and if she saw the tickets in the store, she would ask him to buy them.

"I believe the kids would want their parents to buy those tickets because it says 'American Idol', and it could get them in the habit of buying tickets," said White.

The South Carolina Lottery, however, said its 'American Idol' scratch-off tickets do not target kids and pointed to the show's demographics. The show's own research shows 90 percent of its audience is between 18 and 50-years-old. The SC Lottery also noted that a person must be 18 in order to buy a ticket.
