Aug. 21 (UPI) -- The Tennessee Lottery is commemorating Monday's total solar eclipse with a themed scratch-off game.

The $3 "Eclipse Jumbo Bucks Seasons" game is available at 5,000 lottery retailers across the state, parts of which are in the path of the eclipse's totality.

The game features 12 suns hidden by moons, to be scratched off to reveal numbers that could match a serial number on the card.

Kym Gerlock, communications director of the Tennessee Education Lottery, said 1.44 million game cards will be printed, and should be available for several weeks. The game has 10 prize levels, with a top prize of $75,000.

The solar eclipse Monday will stretch from Tennessee's northwest, through Nashville to the eastern part of the state. Some areas of eastern Tennessee will be in darkness for nearly three minutes, at about 2:30 p.m. EDT.
