Tenn. Lottery CEO blames lagging sales on PowerballReply
Good point on the economy.if it was just powerball sales or lack there of then wouldn't it be a problem in all states that have powerball?

Tennessee Lottery refuses to revert to ball drawingsReply
This escalating broadcasting costs thing is such BS that I had to register and put my 2 in. For example, the Tri-State Lottery doesn't broadcast their drawings, yet they still do traditional ball drawings for all their draw games (Pick 3, Pick 4, Paycheck, and Megabucks), which are posted on the New Hampshire Lottery web site. If they can do it that way, why can't Tennessee?

N.J. native wins $38M Calif. Lottery jackpotReply
irondoor827....no I am not in any way, shape or form affliated with the lottery. Would a lottery official be posting on a Saturday morning? I doubt it. As far as having inside information, none needed. All one had to do was to read the lottery's press release, found on their web site, and compare it to the article posted by Todd from the Union-Tribune. Hardly inside stuff, just simple reading skills.
