The short version
Tennessee sells Mega Millions on the standard terms: the national prize chart is what you are paid, and both $1 add-ons are available. At the jackpot standing after the November 6, 2026 draw, one $5 ticket bought in Tennessee is worth $1.81 — 36 cents on the dollar, and Tennessee withholds nothing from it. A single winner of the $529 million jackpot who takes the cash keeps about $141.3 million in Tennessee after the whole federal bill (every state). Mega Millions after taxes in Tennessee: lump sum vs annuity.
What is different in Tennessee
- Ticket price
- $5 a line
- Every $5 Mega Millions ticket has carried a built-in multiplier since April 2025; there is no separate add-on to buy.
- Prize structure
- Fixed, as the chart
- The published amounts are what you are paid — Tennessee does not adjust them for sales.
- State withholding
- None
- No income tax. Federal withholding of 24% applies on top, everywhere.

What a Tennessee ticket is worth right now
The advertised jackpot is $529 million. The cash value is about $224 million, because the headline is a 30-year annuity and nobody takes it. At that jackpot our sales model puts the chance of having to share a win at enough that a winning ticket is worth 89% of the prize on average rather than all of it. Tennessee withholds nothing, so only the federal 24% comes off. What a Tennessee winner keeps after tax, beside every other state.
The withholding only comes off the jackpot term here, not off the whole figure. Nearly all of a ticket's non-jackpot value sits in the $4.00 and $7.00 tiers, which no state withholds on; taxing those too would push the number down in a way that happens to flatter our own conclusion, so we do not. The draw-by-draw chart behind this is on the Mega Millions page.
Hot and cold over the whole run
The drawing is national, so the frequencies are too — there is no Tennessee hot number, only a Mega Millions one. Over the 942 draws since the game began drawing five numbers from 1 to 70, 10 has come up most (88 times against 67 expected) and 69 has waited longest, 59 draws.
10 has come up most often, 88 times. Each number averages about 67 over 942 draws, and whichever number happens to lead normally finishes around 19 ahead. 10 is 21 ahead, so this is an ordinary spread rather than a streak. 65 has come up least, 53 times.
Tennessee Mega Millions questions
- Can you buy Power Play in Tennessee?
- Yes. It costs $1 a play on top of the $2 ticket and multiplies every prize below the jackpot by 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 — the 10 only when the advertised jackpot is $150 million or less. We price that extra dollar at about 46 cents at a large jackpot and 50 cents when the 10× ball is in the drum.
- Is Double Play available in Tennessee?
- Yes. For $1 your numbers go into a second drawing straight after the main one, with its own prize table topping out at $10 million. Every prize in it is fixed and none of them rolls, which makes it the one multi-state bet whose expected value is exact: about 53 cents per dollar. 30 of the 48 lotteries sell it.
- How much tax does Tennessee take from a Mega Millions win?
- Tennessee withholds nothing — no income tax. The 24% federal withholding still applies, and your federal bill is settled at filing. The calculator does the arithmetic.
- Are Mega Millions prizes in Tennessee the same as the national prize chart?
- Yes. Every prize below the jackpot is a set cash amount in Tennessee, exactly as the national chart prints it. Only California pays pari-mutuel instead.
- How old do you have to be to play Mega Millions in Tennessee?
- Tennessee Education Lottery sets the minimum age and we could not read it off their site on September 22, 2026, so we would rather send you there than guess. Most jurisdictions are 18; Arizona, Iowa, Louisiana and Mississippi are 21 and Nebraska is 19.
- Where were the Tennessee Mega Millions numbers drawn?
- In Tallahassee, Florida, like every Mega Millions drawing — one drawing serves all 47 jurisdictions. The numbers on this page are the same numbers as everywhere else; what the page adds is what they are worth to a Tennessee ticket. The national analysis is here.
