It is fun to pick up a couple of Texas Lottery scratch off tickets from time to time. I am well aware that I am most likely doing nothing more than giving my money to the State of Texas then winning but it's still fun to occasionally play. I think it's that feeling of anticipation of winning big while scratching that makes it the most fun. To be honest, if I get my money back, I am very happy. I decided to go through the available tickets on the Texas Lottery website and found 18 tickets that range from $1 each to $100 each that still have some big jackpots available to win.

My Histroy of Playing

For the most part, I think I am even playing Texas Lottery scratch offs since it started in the early 90s. The most I have ever won on a single ticket is $100. If you've won more, congratulations. I'll still try but I'm certainly not gonna blow through a bunch of money to do so. My fiancé, Amber, likes to play more than I do and she'll have streaks of good luck and streaks of nothing.

Jackpots Still Out There

Some players like to do their research before buying a ticket. One piece of research is seeing the jackpots remaining on various tickets. I don't play a whole lot but after putting this list together, I may seek out one or two of these tickets to see how I do.
