Next thing you know, they'll be making Jack Daniels with water from China or something insane like that. They'll change the old No. 7 to some RNG number like 78 or 677!

The vast majority of Tennessee players I've heard from feel exactly like you do. I hope everyone stays engaged on this issue until something substantial is done about it.

It is time to boycott the lottery and have a total house cleaning of officials in the nashville office starting with rebecca hargrove.This lottery is crooked . Only a complete IDIOT would make a decesion to go to a computerized draw , spendiing money on a random number generator instead of putting that money toward scholarships..... sounds real real suspicious to me

If State lottery won't listen to what the people have to say then they will listen to what the people will do.

Today's Topic: When a glitch hits the lottery

Our View

Trust was missing during a recent stretch in the Tennessee Lottery when players who bet on digits showing up more than once were literally shut out of a chance to win because of a computer glitch. The glitch meant that people who bet on repeating numbers in the Cash 3 and Cash... [ More ]
