The Tennessee Lottery is run by the Tennessee Education Lottery Corporation (TELC) which was created on June 11, 2003, by the Tennessee General Assembly through the Tennessee Education Lottery Implementation Law.

TELC is responsible for the operation of a lottery and is deemed to be acting in all respects for the benefit of the people of the State of Tennessee. It is a member of the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL); it participates in the Powerball lottery.

It is drawn Tuesday and Friday nights; it also has a multiplier similar to the PowerPlay option in Powerball. Tennessee also has a third, smaller jackpot game, Cash 5.
