  In 1996-2000, the NY Lottery offered the "Tax-Free Million" scratch game, which had a top prize of over $1.5 million, of which each winner received $1 million LUMP SUM after withholdings. Every "million-dollar" NY scratch game since has been annuity-only.

  i see it happening sooner than you think. more and more states are offering million-dollar prizes in lump sum nowadays.

  I've redone my website.  Go to www.dr-ew.com.  I kept a lot of the old stuff, and I've added some new stuff.  Look for more new stuff in the coming weeks.

  I'm suprised that TN hasn't got a  Million dollar Ticket.  We have win for life and TN/volunteer millionaire but it's not the same.  I would like a $10 or $20 scratch off that offers a million or two.  Oh well I think it's too soon for TN to start giving away that much money.  I guess they are waiting until they make about 5 billion to do this.  (Darn gotta wait 4 years)

  you send the ticket to the headquarters if it says ENTRY,after they get a half million tickets they draw three names at random,then they get in touch with you and the final three people go on TV for a chance at a million,25,000 and 10,000 dollars,my uncle bobby myers won the second place prize of 25,000 dollars.he is sick with cancer right now and is not in good shape.

  It all depends on what the players want. CO, if you want a million dollar cash scratcher, e-mail them, over and over.
