Deep East Texas Sees 28 $1,000 Winners from Unique Texas Lottery Game
In November 2024, the Texas Lottery launched a scratch-off game called $100, $200, $500, or $1000.
It's one of the more unique games that they offer. Each ticket costs $20, but the top prize is only $1,000, instead of $1 million, which is the common jackpot amount for $20 games.
What makes this game attractive to Texas Lottery players is not the huge payouts, but the increased odds of winning one of the four cash prizes.
Odds of Winning Cash Prizes
- $100 - 1 in 12.5
- $200 - 1 in 50
- $500 - 1 in 208.3
- $1,000 - 1 in 1667.7
None of these cash payouts would be life-changing, like a million dollars, but the odds of winning cash are much better than the 1 in 1,440,000 of many other $20 games.
