About These Numbers
Odds are from the 2026 draw, the latest on file, computed from Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency's published results. They are what happened in that draw, not a forecast. Under five tags a percentage carries a *, because one applicant either way swings it. A dash means the agency did not publish the number, and a date marked expected is last cycle's schedule rolled forward. How we compute these.
