Lottery enthusiasts across the Volunteer State had multiple opportunities to strike it rich as the Tennessee Lottery published the official winning numbers for its diverse array of drawing games held on Tuesday, September 15, 2026. From multi-state flagship jackpot contests to local daily numbers games, players checked their tickets against the freshly certified outcomes to see if fortune favored their chosen combinations.
The multi-state Mega Millions drawing served as a major highlight for the evening, capturing significant player attention across participating jurisdictions. The winning sequence drawn for the September 15 event consisted of the white ball numbers 27, 36, 43, 57, and 58, accompanied by the gold Mega Ball number 16. Bettors matching subsets or the complete combination can verify their prize tiers and historical payouts through official lottery channels.
In addition to the multi-state blockbuster, the popular Cash 3 game held its standard three separate drawings throughout the day, each introducing a distinct set of digits alongside the Wild feature. The Morning draw produced the sequence 4-4-7 with a Wild number of 4. During the Midday drawing, the winning numbers shifted to 5-0-8 with a Wild of 6, while the Evening session concluded the day's Cash 3 action with the combination 2-7-5 and a Wild ball of 6.
Players participating in the four-digit Cash 4 game also saw results generated across morning, midday, and evening intervals. The Morning Cash 4 selection yielded 1-1-9-1 with a Wild number of 1. Later in the afternoon, the Midday drawing revealed the winning sequence 5-0-7-7 paired with a Wild number of 9. Finally, the Evening draw completed the daily lineup by selecting the numbers 1-4-0-7, with 9 once again appearing as the designated Wild number.
State-specific gaming offerings continued with the Daily Tennessee Jackpot, a homegrown favorite tailored for local players seeking substantial returns. The September 15 drawing yielded the winning combination of 05-15-24-32-38. This in-state jackpot gives participants another daily opportunity to win substantial cash sums, with full payout breakdowns and historical results accessible through the official state lottery web portal.
Another high-profile daily draw, the Millionaire for Life game, also selected its winning numbers on Tuesday evening. The main sequence of numbers drawn was 05-06-14-36-38, complemented by the Bonus ball number 03. This game represents an enticing opportunity for ticket holders aiming for life-changing financial security, with winning payouts structured around matching the primary set and bonus designations.
For players fortunate enough to hold winning tickets, the Tennessee Lottery has established clear, tiered redemption protocols depending on the value of the prize. Retailers across Tennessee authorized to sell lottery products are permitted to directly redeem and pay out winning tickets valued up to $599. This low-tier threshold allows everyday winners to quickly collect cash directly at convenience stores, grocery outlets, and authorized retail counters without undergoing formal claim processing.
When prizes exceed the $599 threshold, winners must follow a more formal claiming procedure, which can be completed either through the mail or by visiting an authorized lottery claim center in person. Claimants submitting tickets by mail must complete an official winner claim form and package it with the original winning ticket, a legible photocopy of a government-issued photo identification, and verified proof of their Social Security number. This complete package must be mailed to P.O. Box 290636, Nashville, TN 37229, and must include up-to-date contact information in case lottery officials require verification.
Ticket holders who prefer claiming their winnings in person must take essential security and administrative steps before presenting their documents. The lottery strongly advises winners to immediately sign the back of their physical winning ticket to establish ownership. To complete an in-person claim, individuals must bring their signed ticket, a completed winner claim form, valid government identification, and official proof of their Social Security number to an authorized regional lottery office.
The Tennessee Lottery Headquarters & Claim Center in Nashville operates as the central hub and is the only location authorized to validate and cash winning tickets of any monetary amount. Located at 26 Century Blvd., Nashville, TN 37214, the headquarters is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
