No store on this list — winning or not — has better odds than any other. Odds are fixed by the rules of each game (how many numbers you pick, how many balls are in the drum) and are identical no matter which of Tennessee's licensed retailers actually prints your ticket. A store showing up here with a big prize history simply means it sold a lot of tickets, sold one at the right moment, or both — sales volume, not location, is what correlates with a store eventually selling a winner. If you're comparing two nearby options, convenience (hours, parking, how busy the line is) is a far more useful factor than any "lucky store" reputation.
If a ticket from this list pays off, know before you claim: Tennessee does not withhold state tax on lottery winnings. Tennessee has no state income tax, so no state withholding applies to lottery winnings. Federal withholding of 24% still applies on prizes over $5,000. As for privacy, winner identity is public record in Tennessee: No statutory anonymity; winner identity is public record. Small prizes can usually be cashed right at the retailer; larger ones require a trip to an official Tennessee Lottery claim center with a signed ticket and photo ID.
