If the players who buy their tickets in Tennessee don't care, why should anyone else care? If enough of its players cared enough to not buy their tickets then Tennessee would start to care too.

Just now seen this post hit tonite ( good to see you )

Yep , thats about along when it happened

Quite a few people where I live used to tear the pick 3 up around town here quite often for many years

I have seen tickets back then with unbelieveable wins , but not anymore

I used to do pretty well in the game myself ( hit four straights in under three weeks ) and didnt even box them

I usually won enough now and then to keep me in the game back then also

Idk which is worse, to live in a state where everyone around you seems to be hitting one jp or other and you never winning anything or living in a state where nobody seems to win anything. It's a quandary.

TN needs to get rid of computerized drawings. It's b.s.

If anything lottery winners put money back into local economies, cause when we hit, we spend money, lottery officials just pad their pockets, TN players should protest for the ball system to return.... GET EM

I tell u what, being from TN, living in KY, when TN went to the computerized system the hits stopped for many of my friends and family.... Really hard to even catch a box hit??? KY is a little better, but they did something about 3 years ago, KY says we still have the ball drop stop system, but drawings are NOT televised anymore??? Come on? Really? I used to HIT all the time, bit KY did something, it's a little more challenging to hit as before, I still play KY, but find myself in Indiana now an... [ More ]

I stopped playing the Tennessee lottery games when they went to computers. I will now drive to Georgia or Kentucky. I have no idea about their payouts because I really don't care.

If Tennessee wants my money, they will bring back ball drop.

Thank you all for replying to me,I dont understand why it is allowed to happen year after year.Why do we have such a cheating Lottery.Who can do something about it.I guess no one in our goverment offices cares...I guess it is a scam,legal scammers.To me that is against the law.? I guess not.

Tennessee is the backwater swamp of state lotteries. All they care about is selling tons of Scratch Tickets and acting like TN is a successful Lottery because they do. But we'd probably have one of the truly most successful lotteries if they went back to real ball drawings and all the people who now go out of state to buy tickets came back and bought them here.

A lot of people here don't trust the fake computer draws and they've even been vindicated in their posture because our computers hav... [ More ]

I will throw Ky. in the mix also

Usually same ole payout ranges and low payout on doubles many times ( they know when to turn them loose ) , until their sales drop I imagine , and then they will turn a few good numbers and payouts loose , but then right back to the same ole grind

Looking at your info , I will have to say that Tenn. are some of the lowest I have seen for sure though

And even though I post Conn. and track Conn. Pick 3 , I really dont track their payouts ( l... [ More ]

Grade: F

Tennessee (20% true lottery drawings)

True Drawings: Mega Millions, Powerball

Computerized: Cash 3 Evening, Cash 3 Midday, Cash 3 Morning, Cash 4 Evening, Cash 4 Midday, Cash 4 Morning, Hot Lotto, Tennessee Cash

Your better off going to another state to play imo. Tn has the lowest grade out of all of them.
