TENNESSEE LOTTERY PLAYERS WON MORE THAN $20.3 MILLION LAST WEEK

STATEWIDE—Thousands of Tennessee Lottery players won a total of $20,308,568 last week alone (Oct. 18 – 24, 2026), including a $300,000 winner from Knoxville who says he didn’t have plans for the winnings, but “he’s sure his wife does!”

That lucky player won the big prize playing a Jumbo Jumbo Bucks instant ticket purchased from Kroger in Knoxville.

Other winners last week include a group of five friends from Manchester who play Lottery games together for fun. After winning $10,000 from a ticket purchased at J&K Travel Center in Manchester, they jokingly told Lottery officials they’d be stopping at a luxury car dealership on the way home.

“We’re headed to the Ferrari dealership!” one of the group members said.
