NASHVILLE — Gregory Eaton of Kingston is celebrating after winning one of Tennessee Lottery’s instant prizes in their new Corvette Cash game this week, giving players a chance to win either one of three C6 2005 Corvette Convertibles or up to $100,000 instantly. He purchased his ticket at E&C Mid Atlantic Lottery retail location #7304 Lottery retail in Gaithersburg.
As well as offering the Corvette Cash prize, the Lottery is also promoting other instant games such as KENO To Go and Hot Trax Champions that feature an animated car race between professional racing drivers on your television monitor. Furthermore, players are strongly advised to sign their tickets immediately upon purchasing to help identify them as winning tickets and prevent someone else from cashing them in on them.
The Lottery continues to set records, closing its Fiscal Year with a staggering donation of $421.7 million for all Lottery-funded education programs and raising over $4.6 billion since sales first began on Jan. 20, 2004 – an incredible achievement only one lottery in America can boast of reaching.
Lottery winners have recently found success claiming Corvettes through Lottery sales. One notable instance happened last May, when a Nashville man successfully matched all five numbers and won $1 Million through Powerball drawing – marking fifth largest jackpot ever won and second-highest winning total ever won in Tennessee; previous record was set back in January when mother and son from Bellevue won $61 Million together.
Crockett County health management recruit was another big winner this month. A player matched all five Pick 5 numbers plus Megaplier to win $2 Million during Friday night’s Mega Millions drawing.
The Tennessee Education Lottery made history this quarter by contributing a record second quarter transfer of $122.9 million to its Lottery for Education Account – contributing over $4 billion towards Lottery-funded education programs over the past year! Additionally, Cash 3 and Cash 4 drawings now feature an enhanced second prize level offering $1 Million when matching four of nine numbers!
The Lottery announces an expanded weekly Powerball drawing schedule and introduces Quick Play, which doubles winnings up to $10 million. Officials believe this additional frequency of draws will provide more people a chance at winning big. In addition, Lotto Plus instant tickets go on sale.
