Texas scratch-offs with the most top prizes still unclaimed

Texas scratch-offs with the most top prizes still unclaimed

One of the smartest habits a scratch-off player can build is checking how many top prizes are still unclaimed before buying, because a game with its big prizes gone is a bad deal no matter how good the odds look. Here are the active Texas games with the most top prizes still on the table, as of August 20, 2026.

GamePriceTop prizeTop prizes leftValueScore™
Super Loteria$5$100,0002962.8
Million Dollar Loteria$20$1,000,0001090.6
Super Crossword$5$100,000962.5
Casino Millions$50$1,000,000882.5
$1,000,000 Crossword$20$1,000,000685.3
Premier Play$30$1,000,000561.7
$250,000 50X Cashword$10$250,000553.5

For sheer count, the $5 Super Loteria still leads the state with 29 of its $100,000 top prizes unclaimed, and it is only 5.4% sold, so that pile is barely touched.

The pick of the list on value is new. Million Dollar Loteria went on sale August 17 and rates 90.6 on our ValueScore™, the second-highest of any active Texas game, with all ten of its $1 million top prizes intact and 0.2% of the print run sold. It is the only ticket here offering both a seven-figure prize and a double-digit count of them.

Watch out for the version trap on that one. Texas sells two games called Million Dollar Loteria, and the older edition, game number 2653, is about 86% sold with a single $1 million prize left and rates 59.9. The two look almost identical on the rack. Check the game number in the corner of the ticket.

Behind it, the $20 $1,000,000 Crossword rates 85.3 with six $1 million prizes unclaimed, and the $50 Casino Millions rates 82.5 with eight left, though that game is now 45% sold.

A big number in the "top prizes left" column is not the whole story. Super Loteria has by far the most prizes remaining, and its low-60s score trails the million-dollar games with fewer left, because a $5 ticket returning 68% of sales cannot match what a $20 or $50 ticket returns. Count tells you the money is there. ValueScore™ tells you whether the rest of the game is worth playing to chase it.

One game worth knowing about sits just off this list. The $100 Premier Winnings has only four top prizes left, but they are $10 million each and it rates 95.1, the highest score in Texas and among the best in the country.

Because these counts move every day, treat this as a snapshot rather than a permanent ranking. When you are ready to buy, pull up the live numbers and the full case for checking prizes remaining so you are never paying top dollar for a prize that is already gone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Texas scratch-off has the most top prizes left?

Super Loteria, a $5 ticket, with 29 of its $100,000 top prizes still unclaimed and only 5.4% of the print run sold. Million Dollar Loteria is second with ten $1 million prizes, all of them unclaimed.

Are these the best Texas scratch-offs to buy?

Most top prizes remaining is one signal rather than the whole picture. The best buys pair plenty of unclaimed top prizes with a strong ValueScore™. Million Dollar Loteria at 90.6 and $1,000,000 Crossword at 85.3 score highest among the games on this list.

How often does this list change?

Constantly. Every time a top prize is claimed the counts drop, and games end and launch regularly. This snapshot is from August 19, 2026, and it already differs from late July: two games lost a top prize and a brand-new Million Dollar Loteria edition entered the list. We track it from live prize data, so check the current numbers before a trip to the store.
