Welcome to the official Web site of the Tennessee Education Lottery Corporation. I hope you'll find it a valuable source of information about our games, our business and our vital education mission.
The Tennessee Education Lottery has had another successful fiscal year! Our record return to education of $286.1 million brings the total raised since inception to over $1.2 billion. Gross ticket sales for our fourth fiscal year, which ended June 30, 2008, were over $1 billion, making gross ticket sales since inception over $4.39 billion.
While the Lottery’s success rewards players and retailers, Tennessee students and families reap the ultimate benefits. During the 2007-2008 school year, approximately 68,000 higher-education students received Lottery-funded awards and approximately 10,000 students received Lottery-funded Dual Enrollment Grants. Lottery dollars have also been used to fund 257 new pre-Kindergarten classes and 126 after-school programs throughout the state.
The success of the Tennessee Lottery is a result of the hard work of so many dedicated people. From our staff of more than 165 employees, to countless players, supporters and a network of more than 4,700 Tennessee retailers, this is a true team effort. By working together, the Lottery will continue to provide entertainment to players while maintaining sound business practices and superior customer service.
And, as always, while our mission is to maximize revenues for education in Tennessee, we encourage people to play responsibly.
Thanks for visiting,
