Her salary is over 700,000.00 a year, I know that for a fact. Glad she is gone. Her bringing a random number generator to pick the daily numbers and Tennessee Cash and other draw games just absolutely killed the sales of those tickets. She has been a problem everywhere she has been. Good riddance

Tennessee lottery is bad as every other lottery. Just a little information on why she's probably retiring. Because it's a news anchor here that was investigating her lottery salary. Now all of sudden she's retiring

It seems like regardless of what state lottery director that state has people just can't admit they played and lost. I guess they have to have something to blame it on.

This is an answer to a prayer. Everyone in Tennessee is sick of her. She ruined the lottery with her random number generator, which is just another way to ensure there is no winners. Hopefully we can get someone that can restore honesty to the lottery. A lot of people quit playing the daily games because of it. Go back to the balls and watch the lottery sales rise.

This is such good news for us folks from the Volunteer state. Hopefully we can have a new leader that will bring us into the 21st century with upgrades to the website, returned phonecalls, complete openness/access to all prize levels and more than just listing the top 3 prizes remaining prizes once a week on the scratch-offs. 12/31 can not come soon enough. Thank you Kate, for the wonderful news

Congratulations to her for her long career in the lottery.

Too bad Michigan didn't have someone like her as our lottery has been going downhill since 2013.

The current Michigan Android lottery App is a dumpster fire which seems to have been done by a team used to getting participation trophies.

Maybe Michigan can hire someone trained by her to reverse the decline.

Anyway here's wishing her a great retirement
