NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — How would you feel if you hit the lottery to start the new year? Two Middle Tennesseans are starting 2024 a million dollars richer.

The Tennessee Lottery said if you recently bought a ticket in Fayetteville or Pleasant View, you may want to check them.

Lottery officials said a winner in Fayetteville won $1.1 million and the Pleasant View winner won $1 million.

Watch Tony explain in the player above.

The Fayetteville ticket was sold at a Stateline Shell on Huntsville Highway, and the Pleasant View ticket was sold at Sudden Service on Highway 49 East.

Not only were these two big winning tickets sold in the state, but there was a $200,000 winning ticket sold in Millington, and a $50,000 ticket sold in Goodlettsville.

The hard part for the winners is holding on to those tickets until tomorrow because all lottery offices are closed Monday, but will re-open on Jan. 2. No one won the jackpot for the Powerball game, so the winnings sit at $810 million.

Tennessee AG is suing fertility clinic for abandoning patients

Growing your family, no matter the journey to get there, is an emotional one. My heart aches for these families who trusted a Nashville fertility clinic with their dreams and finances. Hannah McDonald's relentlessness to find answers is journalism at its best and hopefully a new avenue of hope for the patients caught up in this mess.
