Getting Better Odds

On the Texas Lottery website, you will find a 'Scratch Tickets' link on the top toolbar. Click on that and one of your choices will be the 'Current Games List'.

On this page, you can also see a list of all the current scratch-off games and you can find out how many of the top-tier prizes of each game have been won. Compare that percentage to the percentage of lower-tier prizes that have been won, and you can get a pretty reliable indication of which games should have a little bit better than usual chance of paying out their big jackpots.
