•One prize of $10,000 will be drawn from all “Junior Jumbo Bucks” ticket entries.
•Ten entries will be drawn from a pool of all tickets submitted and each will receive $1,000.
•Deadline for eligible entries will be midnight, Sunday, July 8. Any entry received after the deadline will be entered into the next drawing for which it is qualified.
•Winners will be posted on the Play it Again! website following the drawing and will be notified by the Tennessee Lottery using contact information provided during program registration.
