Tennessee Cash is an exciting in-state jackpot game offered by the Tennessee Education Lottery. Players choose five numbers and a separate "Cash Ball" number in drawings held three times a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 10:30 PM CT/11:30PM ET and win cash prizes with a minimum jackpot of $200,000 that rolls over until it is won.
There are eight possible ways to win, four that require the Cash Ball and four that don’t. The top prize starts at $200,000 and rolls over if it’s not won.
Other prizes are awarded to players that match 4/5 numbers with or without winning Cash Ball, 3/5 numbers with or without winning Cash Ball, and a few others. Prize amounts vary from draw to draw as they are based on ticket sales and the number of winners. View the table below to see what you could win:

Launched in October 2010, Tennessee Cash was introduced to replace the previous game which was Pick 5. Its inaugural draws took place on the subsequent Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. After running successfully for ten years, Tennessee Lottery officials introduced the Quick Cash add-on in 2020. Revenue from all Tennessee lotteries including Tennessee Cash, is used to fund educational programs like the HOPE scholarship.
The record for a single winner of Tennessee Cash is $1.52 million – which took place after a significant jackpot rollover – and the highest overall win is $2.2 million split between two tickets.
No, Quick Cash cannot be played as a standalone game. You need to play TN Cash and add the Quick Cash option for an extra $1.
