Yes, the Dragon Lady is a gem, or as they said, "a legend in the lottery industry." Because nobody would have ever wanted to play a lottery in all those states if she hadn't personally talked them into it. Heh,heh,heh,heh,heh.... Giving her an award because people like to gamble would make as much sense as giving our President a Nobel Peace Prize. Oh, wait.... | | |

To name an award after her and make her the first recipient sounds fishy to me. Wonder if she got a "cash" award to go with it? Sounds like another corporate way to enrich a CEO. If you know your number is going to hit, have patience and then KILL IT! You never know when you will get another hit. | | |

You have got to be kidding me !!!! The tennessee lottery has gotten to be a joke. You can never win with this computerized rigged draw. Thanks to Hargrove no one plays the daily draw games anymore. It is time she moved on  | | |

Well now i know why it's called the Volunteer State. Each resident was nice enough to contributed about 450$ in 2013 and probably won nothing. | | |

Tennessee Education Lottery is a good name for it. Cuz most players get educated by getting skunked so often by the Dragon Lady's phony computer drawings that they now play in neighboring states. | | |

four4me, If you encounter a crazed woman banging on your door about 3 AM... ...don't open it. The Dragon Lady will find you... As usual just like a country preacher she turned it around in her favor blamed the people who installed the software then gave out some bonus money and a few other gimmys. She never owned up to anything during the whole ordeal. Instead they gave her a big bonus at the end of the year. I ain't scared of the old heifer . Big John says. You don't hit the number. The number hits you!!!! I'm not Big John, I'm Four4me, Big John's a friend. | | |
