The Titans logo will be featured on the instant scratch-off tickets. The blue and red instant ticket, which features 15 Titan helmets, offers a chance to win cash prizes of up to $100,000 instantly.

A series of second-chance drawings to be held in the fall will offer the chance to win:

• Titans club season tickets for 20 years (tickets for two people).

• Season tickets to the 2010 season (four sets of two).

• Four club seats to the Nov. 29 game against the Arizona Cardinals, the Dec. 13 game against the St. Louis Rams and the Dec. 25 game against the San Diego Chargers.

• Footballs autographed by the entire Titans team.

• Replica jersey autographed by team members.

• Titans merchandise prize packs.

The NFL has always had a strict no-gambling policy, but in the spring, team owners voted to allow teams to sign licensing deals with state lotteries.

I am torn whether to think this is a good way of promoting the lottery and the Titans, or is it tying NFL teams too close to gambling. :mellow

I am not a lottey player, either scratch-off or Powerball, but I am tempted with buying at least one of these $5 cards.

I not so worried to it tying NFL teams too close to gambling. It's not sports-betting, it's a lottery ticket and has no effect on the sport or the teams other than a little extra advertising revenue. The whole Titans organization could take a trip to Vegas and spend their nights at the black jack tables, poker tables, slots...etc. and I would not have an issue with it. I would have issues if they were involved with sports-betting whether it was football, baseball, basketball, college/pro etc.

FYI- I am not a gambler. My luck is not good and I would lose my shirt the first time out!:loser

Will do.
BTW, I don't think I ever confirmed, but I do have your Sunday Tennessean too- the July 5 (Mac9) edition you asked for.

[Parddy]

$5 isn't too bad.... They had Red Sox tickets up here (Free season tix for life) cash, etc, etc.. Same type of thing but they were charging $10 a tick... The latest edition this year has been lowered to $5 just like yoursl..... I never win Sh*t no matter what the cost. :-(

OOF, I just called the Tennessean about a back issue for you so keep your fingers crossed.

I like the Idea they are 5 and I like the Idea that you can win several things in a second chance drawing. Just you that want to be in the know redskins lottery tickets sell for 20 not really sue wha you can win about 500K i think, not sure what they were giving away as far as redskin stuff. Even as a Dallas fan I brought won while visiting family and friends also from that area and I won absolutlely nothing. See why I hate the Skins so much. hehe
