Best Texas Scratch-Offs Right Now: Ranked by Odds, Payout, and Prizes Remaining

Texas runs one of the largest and most diverse scratch-off catalogs in the country, with 50 active games spanning $3 to $100 and a Lotería lineup that goes deeper than any other state. The range creates a real selection problem. Two games at the same price point can have wildly different odds, payout rates, and remaining prize counts. Right now, the spread between the best and worst games in Texas is wider than most states. Here's where the value actually is.

All data is pulled live from ScratchCheck's Texas scratch-off rankings.

Best $50 Ticket: Casino Millions

Casino Millions leads the entire Texas catalog with a ValueScore of 90.6, overall odds of 1 in 3.45, a 78% payout rate, and 9 top prizes of $1 million still remaining. Nine top prizes is a lot. Most games in Texas at this price point have had their best prizes picked down to 1 or 2. Casino Millions is relatively early in its run at the top tier, which is what pushes it to the top of the rankings.

Ultimate Millions ranks second overall (VS 90.5) with nearly identical base structure: 1 in 3.59 odds, 78.1% payout. The one meaningful difference: only 4 top prizes remaining vs. Casino Millions' 9. The ValueScores are separated by just 0.1 points, but the remaining prize gap is real. If you're buying one $50 ticket and the specific game is available, Casino Millions is the call.

500X Lotería Spectacular (rank 6, VS 83.1) is worth knowing at $50. Odds of 1 in 3.21 are the tightest of any $50 game in Texas, meaning you're more likely to win something per ticket than on Casino Millions or Ultimate Millions. But only 2 top prizes remain, so the ceiling has shrunk. Strong odds, thinning pool.

Golden Riches ($50, rank 8, VS 77.6) and $5 Million Royale ($50, rank 15, VS 72.9) both have just 2 top prizes remaining each. Good underlying structure, nearly exhausted at the top.

The $100 Tier: Only in Texas

Texas is one of a handful of states that sells $100 scratch-off tickets, and the two currently active are structurally strong. Lotería Supreme (rank 4, VS 84.6) has the best overall odds of any $100 game in Texas at 1 in 3.23, an 80% payout, and 2 top prizes of $7.5 million remaining. $5 Million Titanium Black (rank 5, VS 84.5) runs odds of 1 in 3.89 with 3 top prizes of $5 million remaining, an 80% payout rate. Both return 80 cents on every dollar spent, the highest payout rate available in the Texas catalog at any price.

The $100 tier makes mathematical sense if you're already going to spend that amount. One $100 ticket at 80% payout has a better expected return per dollar than twenty $5 tickets at 64-68%. The barrier is psychological, not mathematical.

Best $30 Ticket: Millionaire's Club

Millionaire's Club leads the $30 tier at rank 3 overall (VS 85.2) with odds of 1 in 3.54, a 75% payout, and 4 top prizes of $2 million remaining. Best $30 option in Texas right now by ValueScore.

Premier Play (rank 14, VS 73.3) is the better choice if remaining prize count matters most: 7 top prizes of $1 million still in the pool, the most of any $30 game in Texas right now, with odds of 1 in 3.55 nearly identical to Millionaire's Club and the 75.1% payout is marginally higher. If you weight intact prize availability, Premier Play is the pick. If you weight overall ValueScore, Millionaire's Club leads.

$3 Million Ca$h (rank 30, VS 58.8) has just 1 top prize remaining despite otherwise solid odds (1 in 3.72). Skip it on top prize availability alone.

Best $20 Ticket: Power 20s

Power 20s leads the $20 tier at rank 7 overall (VS 79), with odds of 1 in 3.61, a 75% payout, and 3 top prizes of $1 million remaining. It's the strongest $20 game in Texas right now on composite value.

Monaco Millionaire (rank 9, VS 76.7) has tighter odds than Power 20s at 1 in 3.74, but its 70.8% payout rate is the lowest of any top-10 game in Texas, pulling it below Power 20s despite the odds. Diamond 7s (rank 10, VS 74.7) runs 1 in 3.51 odds (tightest in the $20 tier) but only 2 top prizes remain.

Million Dollar Lotería (rank 17, VS 69.4) has 3 top prizes remaining and is worth knowing if you prefer the Lotería format. Same 75% payout as Power 20s, tighter odds at 1 in 3.29, but a lower ValueScore due to the prize structure.

The $20 game to actively avoid: $100, $200, $500 or $1,000! (rank 40, VS 50.3) has overall odds of 1 in 9.49, among the worst of any $20 game in the country. The top "prize" is $1,000. At $20 per ticket with 1 in 9.49 odds, you're paying a steep price for what is essentially a frequent small-win game with no real upside.

Best $10 Ticket: Slots of Luck

Slots of Luck leads the $10 tier at rank 13 overall (VS 73.8) with odds of 1 in 3.82, a 70% payout, and 6 top prizes of $250,000 remaining, the most of any $10 game in Texas right now. The casino theme and intact prize pool make it the clear best $10 pick.

777 (rank 18, VS 67.9) is worth knowing: the tightest odds of any $10 game at 1 in 3.22 and 4 top prizes of $250,000 remaining. If win frequency is the priority, 777's odds beat Slots of Luck. $250,000 50X Cashword (rank 20, VS 66.7) also has 6 top prizes remaining at 1 in 3.56 odds, same remaining count as Slots of Luck, slightly tighter odds, slightly lower ValueScore.

The $10 game to avoid: $50, $100 or $500! (rank 46, VS 42.1) has overall odds of 1 in 9.43 with a top prize of only $500. Same spread-game trap as the $20 version. Terrible odds for $10.

Best $5 Ticket: $100,000 Cash

The $5 tier in Texas is the weakest in the catalog by payout rate, averaging 64-68% across all active games. The best available is $100,000 Cash (rank 26, VS 60.8) with odds of 1 in 4.07, a 68.1% payout, and 4 top prizes of $100,000 remaining.

Super Lotería (rank 44, VS 44.8) has the most intact prize pool of any $5 game in Texas with 11 top prizes of $100,000 remaining, though its odds (1 in 3.77) and payout (68%) are lower than $100,000 Cash. If remaining top prize count is your deciding factor at $5, Super Lotería leads. For pure ValueScore, $100,000 Cash wins.

Yellowstone (rank 37, VS 55.5) and Bonus Break the Bank (rank 41, VS 46.2) are the mid-range $5 options with 5 and 6 top prizes remaining respectively. Yellowstone's licensed branding is the most distinctive $5 game in Texas right now.

Texas's Lotería Lineup

Texas runs the deepest Lotería-branded scratch-off catalog in the country, with games at every price tier from $5 to $100. Super Lotería ($5), Mega Lotería ($10, rank 36, 4 remaining), Limited Edition Mega Lotería ($10, rank 27, 4 remaining), Million Dollar Lotería ($20), 500X Lotería Spectacular ($50), and Lotería Supreme ($100) are all currently active simultaneously. No other state comes close to this range of Lotería games at once. The format resonates specifically in Texas given the state's demographics, and the games are generally well-structured relative to their price tiers.

The $3 Tier

Texas has one active $3 game: Cashword (rank 35, VS 57.2) with 12 top prizes of $50,000 remaining, odds of 1 in 4.07, and a 66.2% payout. Twelve remaining top prizes is a strong count for any price tier in Texas. It won't win on payout rate against the $5 tier, but the intact prize pool makes it a reasonable play for under $5.

How to Allocate a $20 Budget in Texas

Texas is one of three states in a recent analysis where $10 games have slightly better overall odds than $20 games (1 in 4.10 vs. 1 in 4.21 on average). That makes the two-ticket split more defensible here than in most states. Two Slots of Luck tickets at $10 each gives you the best-VS $10 game twice, with 6 top prizes remaining in the pool. One Power 20s at $20 gives you a higher payout rate (75% vs. 70%) and a higher top prize ceiling. The payout gap favors the single $20 ticket in expected value terms. The odds and the experience of two tickets favors the split. Texas is genuinely one of the closer calls of any state on this question.

For a $50 budget, the choice is clearer: one Casino Millions ticket at $50 returns 78% with 9 top prizes remaining, which beats five $10 tickets at 70% payout on both return per dollar and prize ceiling by a wide margin.

The Full Rankings

Prize pools shift quickly in a state as large as Texas. Casino Millions' 9 remaining top prizes could drop to 5 within days if a lucky run of claims comes in. The Texas scratch-off rankings on ScratchCheck update from official Texas Lottery data, so remaining prize counts reflect what's actually available today rather than what was printed when the game launched.
