'Mega Millions' comes to Tennessee Lottery

Tennessee Lottery officials unanimously voted Monday to offer a second mega-jackpot game in the state. They said it's expected to bring an additional $10-15 million annually in Tennessee.

No states were allowed to offer both Powerball and Mega Millions until a recent agreement between all U.S. lottery jurisdictions.

Although the details need to be finalized, Tennessee Lottery fans can expect to begin playing Mega Millions early next year.

Mega Millions is currently played in 12 states. Powerball is currently available in 31 states, plus the District of Columbia and Virgin Islands.

The Tennessee Lottery began selling tickets in January 2004.
