3 Texas Lottery Scratch Offs With Over 100% Jumps of Winning Big

Do you still have a few things to buy on your Christmas list? Maybe you need to buy a few stocking stuffers.

A lot of folks give the gift of chance for stocking stuffers every year. A Texas Lottery scratch-off game doesn't usually cost a lot of money, and there's always that hope that it could bust the odds and win big.

No matter which scratch-off you buy, the chances of you winning the game's big jackpot are extremely slim. That being said, if you knew certain tickets gave you a slightly better chance of winning than others, wouldn't you want to know?

Using Math to Choose Which Scratch-Off Tickets To Buy

You can use the daily data to figure out which games' odds have tilted slightly in or against your favor.

There are 3 scratch-off games whose odds of winning their respective big jackpots have increased by over 100% as compared to their posted odds when the games were first introduced.

Hit $1,000,000 ($20 Game)

Approximately 70.2% of this game's tickets have been purchased. There are still 3 out of 4 top prizes of $1 million yet to be claimed.
