Well, you have been around here listening longer than me, so I just may do that.

Depends on your gambling strategy. Personally I take the opposite approach, and play what's hot. So I would play in Kentucky.

i guess you think tennessee must be overdue for a jackpot winner in powerball. powerball should be safe for you to play here in tennessee since its not RNG but the luck is in kentucky recently with the recent powerball jackpot winners because tennessee has only had one powerball jackpot winner. i had a powerball future from franklin kentucky but it ran out. i also play 3 line lotto when i am in kentucky.

All this talk of Tennessee's glitches is making me weary of playing there. But, I figure since Ky had it's powerball hits two times in the latter part of 2007, my best bet would be to cross the border to play it in Tennessee. Think it's okay

I think this is pretty minor, Hawkins said. It was in place for less than 24 hours, and I don't think it caused any consumer issues. She said the home page of the Web site is the only place the clock is featured. All other lottery materials show the correct Jan. 22 drawing date.

Opps! But anybody can make a mistake.

Last September, Hawkins reported a misprint on Lotto 5, Cash 3 and Cash 4 tickets that showed the Powerball jackpot as $29 million instead of $15 million.

Opps! But an... [ More ]

Aren't there States close to TN that are reachable that have usable Lotteries, or it's too far?

Just our luck... we survived Y2K only to be faced with the Y2K8 glitch leading up to the 2012 Worldwide Meltdown (or worse, a Hillary re-election)... the Time Gods are angry.

The only way to fight one number off is play Pairs or play all the box combinations wheeling 3 good digits with all the possible missout digits although that can be quite a few on the Pick 4.

That about sums it up. TN can not make sure their Pick 3 drawings will be random, but the clock at their site is. lol

tnlotto1, I am not computer savvy enough to make a technical comment, but I think it's funny that so many people today use the excuse computer error. I wish the error was in the consumer's favor, but it usually is not! I hope the world as we know it doesn't blow up because of a computer error.

Good luck. It's not so far away now. (the drawing, that is, not the end of the world

i reported this on another post about raffle games and i think it was up more than 24 hours because i think i saw the days until the drawing somewhere in the eighties on sunday but maybe not i am certain i saw it change from 87 to 86 days. i wasnt sure if they pushed back the drawing because of slow sales or if it was a mistake by a computer. im glad they corrected it and the drawing is still scheduled for the same day. from now own i need to make sure i email them as soon as i see a something t...

Lottery calls first glitch of the new year 'minor'

The new year brought another glitch to the Tennessee lottery, this time with a miscounting Web site clock.

The clock is supposed to show the number of days until the Jan. 22 grand prize drawing for the Million $ Madness game.

Instead, as the new year dawned, the clock began showing the wrong number of days.

It was showing 86 days when James Hawkins logged on to the Web site about 5:30 p.m. New Year's Day.

Although the clock show... [ More ]
