Tennessee lottery's first raffle-style game results in 4 new millionaires

Million $ Madness was the Lottery's first raffle-style game. The last of 800,000 tickets was sold shortly after 9 p.m. CT Sunday night. Prior to awarding these four prizes, the Lottery has awarded $1 million or more to 12 Tennessee players, six who won from playing an instant ticket game and another six who won from Powerball, including a jackpot winner of $25.5 million and a Power Play 10X winner of $2 million.

The Tennessee Lottery began selling its first tickets on January 20, 2004. As of March 31, 2007, the Lottery has raised over $842 million to fund specific education programs, including college scholarships, pre-kindergarten and after-school programs.
