The TV stations might not want to bid to broadcast the lottery drawings, but I'm sure at least one in each market will want to be the Official Lottery Station that shows the draws while the other stations must make due with a pop box on the screen. If none of the media wants the draw it isn't shown there, too bad. Shouldn't cost any more then what they're showing now, except for paying the model, the studio should already be part of lottery headquarters or someone messed up again. BobP

In Maryland WJZ used to have the lottery drawings now WBAL has it, from what i understand WJZ's contract expired and WBAL got the contract however it's done someone got the contract. Several other stations have a little pop up window and display the numbers that were drawn.

The way Hargrove describes it leads us to believe that the lottery is paying every TV station in Tennessee that broadcasts the lottery numbers and all I'm saying is they don't have to go that route. She should negotiate a deal and get on with the business at hand pleasing the people and making money for the state. Not showboating at every opportunity's and causing rifts with the people and the elected officials. If people aren't happy with the way the lottery is being conducted in Tennessee then the elected officials should right the wrong and get the ball drawings back on target.

i made a personal promise to myself that the very day they ever bring back the ball drawings i'm going to drop a hundred dollars on my favorite pick 3 number.i won 5 grand on that number back in the early days of the TN lottery and i would love to smash the bank on it even though thats a long shot.i've seen where virginia players on the virginia website have hit for that much.50,000 dollars would be a nice payday.oh but man all those stores i'd have to go to......
