More than 30,000 winners were created in Tennessee after this weekend’s drawings of Lotto 5 and Powerball. The jackpots for the two popular games will roll for this week, with Lotto 5 at an estimated $400,000 for Monday night’s draw and Powerball at an estimated $71 million for Wednesday night’s draw.

Last night’s Powerball drawing produced 28,512 winners in Tennessee, with 6,917 of them doubling their prize, thanks to the Power Play option. In Lotto 5, Friday night's drawing produced 1,888 winners, including 43 players who won $287 each.

Don’t miss out on Million $ Madness, a raffle-style game that will award four prizes of $1 million each on Jan. 22, 2008. The first of seven early bird drawings is Friday, Nov. 9, so the sooner players purchase a ticket, the more chances they have to win. Tickets are on sale now at all Lottery retailers.

Lotto 5 drawings are broadcast Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights at 10:34 p.m. CT (11:34 p.m. ET); Powerball drawings are broadcast Wednesdays and Saturdays at 9:59 p.m. CT (10:59 p.m. ET). Drawings are broadcast every night at 6:28 p.m. CT (7:28 p.m. ET) and at midday at 12:28 p.m. CT (1:28 p.m. ET) Monday through Saturday for the Tennessee Lottery’s other two online games, CASH 3 and CASH 4.

The Tennessee Lottery began selling its first tickets on Jan. 20, 2004.
