NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The president and CEO of the Tennessee Education Lottery Corp. is being recognized by a leading lottery trade organization with an award named after her.
According to the lottery, the "Rebecca Hargrove Award for Mentorship" is given in recognition of an individual's "generous spirit that supports the wise and responsible development of the next generation of lottery industry leaders."
Hargrove also is the first recipient of the award from the Public Gaming Research Institute.
Institute CEO Paul Jason said in a news release that Hargrove is a "legend in the lottery industry."
Hargrove began her career directing the Illinois Lottery and later led successful lottery startups in Florida, Georgia and Tennessee. The Tennessee Lottery has generated more than $2.8 billion for education programs since it began in 2003.
Yes, the Dragon Lady is a gem, or as they said, "a legend in the lottery industry."
Because nobody would have ever wanted to play a lottery in all those states if she hadn't personally talked them into it.
Heh,heh,heh,heh,heh....
Giving her an award because people like to gamble would make as much sense as giving our President a Nobel Peace Prize.
Oh, wait....
To name an award after her and make her the first recipient sounds fishy to me. Wonder if she got a "cash" award to go with it? Sounds like another corporate way to enrich a CEO.
Dragon Lady got an award
You have got to be kidding me !!!! The tennessee lottery has gotten to be a joke. You can never win with this computerized rigged draw. Thanks to Hargrove no one plays the daily draw games anymore. It is time she moved on
The only award she deserves is a swift kick in the AZ
Well now i know why it's called the Volunteer State. Each resident was nice enough to contributed about 450$ in 2013 and probably won nothing.
Tennessee Education Lottery is a good name for it.
Cuz most players get educated by getting skunked so often by the Dragon Lady's phony computer drawings that they now play in neighboring states.
lol
Raised $2.8 Billion Nothing goes back to the Loyal players,,,,wheres our Award.???????????????
Fire breathe lady wins an award and 3 days later someone from TN wins the states first MM jp. I can see how a conspiracy theorist can get excited at this turn of events. Not me. I'm too lazy for that. I just drink my Corona Extra beers and watch everything unfold.
How soon we (they) forget...

-Lottery truly helps a lot in our economy. Though it is somehow a gambling game it is just like your giving away your money to help with a chance of changing your life to the fullest. Knowing this playing lottery is not a game to rip-out your hard-earned cash but a game to generate funds to help along side it also earns income, and give chances to people who wants to go from rags to riches.
