The first recorded lottery within the present boundaries of Tennessee occurred in 1787, while the region was still a part of North Carolina. Its proceeds were designated for building a road from the south end of Clinch Mountain to Bean's Lick. Widely advertised, lotteries became common in the early nineteenth century. Private lotteries were held without government control for the benefit of individuals, usually to dispose of property or to encourage business. In 1809 the legislature outlawed these types of lotteries, claiming they encouraged idleness and dissipation. However, the continuing existence of "underground" lotteries calls to question the effectiveness of the legislation.

According to the Chattanoogan, the Tennessee lottery will initially have four instant games. The scratch-off games will offer prizes ranging from a free ticket to $1 million. More instant games will be added to the mix in the future. Within two months of the launch, computerized games in which players pick numbers prior to televised drawings will be added to lottery sales.

The Tennessee lottery results are usually up to date (within 1 draw). Note that the preferred method for updating the results is by using the built-in draw result updater within the lottery software. However, if you prefer not to use the built in draw result updater, you can download the program file from here, then use the import function on the lottery program to import the results. Note that these draw results are only of use by the lottery software and are not in text format.
