HUMPHREYS COUNTY – Just in time for the holidays! A couple from Humphreys County was still in disbelief when they came to the Nashville headquarters of the Tennessee Lottery this week to claim an eye-dropping $300,000 prize.

The couple, who are employed in the healthcare and paper industries, say the big win will help with gifts for their children, bills and savings for the future. “We have dreamed about winning, but never something this big,” they laughed.

The lucky Jumbo Jumbo Bucks instant ticket was purchased at J Market, 800 E. Main St. in Waverly.

The Lottery offers a variety of ways to win, including instant-ticket games, drawing-style games and special drawings. One such drawing program is Play It Again! (PIA!). PIA! offers a second chance to win a top prize from an eligible non-winning instant ticket.

The entry deadline for the next PIA! drawing is Monday, Dec. 5, 2022. The drawing will award more than $4.4 million in cash prizes to 16 lucky winners, including two prizes of $1 million each, two of $500,000 each, two of $250,000 each and four of $200,000 each.

To enter PIA!, players sign up for a free TN VIP Rewards account at https://www.tnviprewards.com, which allows them to enter eligible tickets into drawings held throughout the year. The program also deters litter by adding value to a ticket that might otherwise be thrown away improperly.

As always, the Lottery encourages all players to Have Fun and Play Responsibly.
