“LUCKY SUM” TO GIVE PLAYERS CHANCE FOR ADDITIONAL CASH! |
|
|
The Tennessee Lottery is adding a feature to its CASH 3 and CASH 4 games to give players another chance to win additional cash!
Beginning Sunday, Dec. 7 through March 17, 2009, players may add “Lucky Sum” to any Cash 3 or Cash 4 play at the time of purchase. The cost matches the cost of the play ($.50 or $1). The sum of the numbers for the player’s CASH 3 or CASH 4 play will be generated and printed at the bottom of the ticket. After each CASH 3 or CASH 4 drawing, the sum of the numbers drawn is the “Lucky Sum.” If it matches the sum of the numbers the player played, then the person wins. |
