In November 2002, 58 percent of
Tennessee voters approved a state lottery for the primary purpose of funding
college scholarships. The following spring, the legislature created the
Tennessee Education Lottery Corporation, and the bill was signed into law in
June 2003. Ticket sales began on January 20, 2004, with four instant games:
Tennessee Millionaire, Lucky 7s, $100,000 Jackpot and Tennessee
Treasures. Ticket sales reached $10.8 million that first day. In March 2004,
the Lottery launched its first draw game, Cash 3. Two more draw games were
added that first year, Powerball in April and Lotto 5 in August. Current games
include Powerball, Mega Millions, Tennessee Cash, Cash 3 and Cash
4. Tennessee is unique in the industry for introducing a game other than
Keno as its first monitor game experience. Hot Trax Champions, an animated car
race with competing professional race car drivers, debuted November 2006 and
continued through December 2008. The Tennessee Education Lottery has been
known for its unique programs of leadership and diversity. In June 2004, it
launched a Summer Internship Program designed for students of the states
historical black colleges and universities. Lottery proceeds benefit
Tennessee students attending public or private colleges or universities across
the state through Lotteryfunded scholarships and grants. More than 100,000
individuals benefit each year from these awards and programs. Lottery revenues
may also be used for pre-kindergarten and after-school programs.
