Tennessee Lottery Tickets in Smyrna, TN — Scratch-Offs, Powerball & More

Tennessee Lottery offers three main categories of games at retail locations like Rock Springs Market: scratch-off tickets (instant games), draw games (Powerball, Mega Millions, Cash 3, Cash 4, Tennessee Cash), and limited-time special games that rotate throughout the year.

Scratch-offs are the most popular at convenience store locations — they're immediate, require no knowledge of draw schedules, and range in price from $1 to $30 per ticket. Draw games require picking numbers (or using a Quick Pick) and waiting for scheduled drawings. All current Tennessee Lottery games are available at Rock Springs Market at 2124 Rock Springs Road during store hours.

Tennessee Lottery publishes the overall odds for every active scratch-off game at tnlottery.com. The general rule: more expensive tickets have better overall odds and higher top prizes, but the price-to-entertainment ratio varies by game. A $30 scratch-off might have 1-in-3.25 overall odds; a $2 ticket might be 1-in-5.

"Overall odds" include all prizes — including break-even prizes where you win back your ticket cost. The odds of winning a meaningful prize (say, $100 or more) are different, and that data is published too if you read the fine print. The honest take: scratch-offs are entertainment spending with a chance of return. Buy what you can afford to lose, and enjoy the scratch.

Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59pm ET. Mega Millions draws every Tuesday and Friday at 11pm ET. Both jackpots start at $20 million and roll over until someone wins. Tickets are $2 per play.

Quick Pick is statistically equivalent to choosing your own numbers — the random number generator has no memory of past draws. Power Play (Powerball) and Megaplier (Mega Millions) cost an extra $1 per play and multiply non-jackpot winnings by 2x–10x. In Tennessee, lottery ticket sales close at 10pm on draw nights, so plan ahead if you want in on a big jackpot.

Beyond national games, Tennessee runs its own draw games. Cash 3 holds two drawings daily — you pick three digits and can win up to $500 on a $1 straight bet. Cash 4 works the same way with four digits and up to $5,000 on a $1 straight play.

Tennessee Cash draws every Tuesday and Friday, with a top prize starting at $100,000 that rolls up when there's no winner. It's a lower-jackpot, better-odds option compared to Powerball — overall odds of winning any prize are 1-in-7.5 versus Powerball's 1-in-24.9. For players who prefer higher win frequency over the long-shot jackpot, Tennessee Cash is worth a look.

For scratch-offs, the fastest way to check is to bring the ticket to the Rock Springs Market counter — the register scans any ticket and tells you instantly whether it's a winner and the exact prize amount. For draw games, check tnlottery.com or the Tennessee Lottery app after the drawing.

Prize redemption at Rock Springs Market covers up to $600 in cash at the counter. Prizes from $600 to $99,999 must go to a Tennessee Lottery district office. Prizes $100,000 and above must be claimed at the Tennessee Lottery headquarters in Nashville. All prizes must be claimed within 180 days of the drawing date or within 90 days of a scratch-off game's end date — don't sit on a winning ticket.
