Which Texas Scratch-Offs Win the Most? The Best Odds Belong to Premium Tickets
It is the most common question Texas players ask: which scratch-offs actually win the most? We ranked every active game in the state by its overall odds, which is the published chance that any given ticket wins any prize, using our live data as of this writing on July 25, 2026.
The short answer is that the games winning most often in Texas are almost all premium tickets. Here are the ten best.
| # | Game | Price | Odds | Top prize | Top prizes left | ValueScore |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 500X Loteria Spectacular | $50 | 1 in 3.21 | $3,000,000 | 2 | 76.7 |
| 2 | 777 | $10 | 1 in 3.22 | $250,000 | 2 | 55.0 |
| 3 | Loteria Supreme | $100 | 1 in 3.23 | $7,500,000 | 2 | 83.2 |
| 4 | Million Dollar Loteria | $20 | 1 in 3.29 | $1,000,000 | 2 | 62.1 |
| 5 | 500X | $50 | 1 in 3.36 | $1,000,000 | 2 | 61.0 |
| 6 | $1,000,000 Crossword | $20 | 1 in 3.41 | $1,000,000 | 6 | 86.7 |
| 7 | 200X The Cash | $20 | 1 in 3.41 | $1,000,000 | 3 | 80.7 |
| 8 | Casino Millions | $50 | 1 in 3.45 | $1,000,000 | 8 | 83.3 |
| 9 | $20 Million Supreme | $100 | 1 in 3.49 | $20,000,000 | 0 | 63.0 |
| 10 | X | $50 | 1 in 3.49 | $1,000,000 | 2 | 69.2 |
Why the winners are all expensive tickets
Notice what is missing from that list: there is not a single $1, $2, or $5 game on it. That is not a fluke. Averaged across every active Texas game by price, the pattern is steady.
| Ticket price | Games | Average odds | Average payout |
|---|---|---|---|
| $1 | 4 | 1 in 3.93 | 60.1% |
| $2 | 9 | 1 in 4.48 | 65.0% |
| $5 | 18 | 1 in 4.14 | 67.7% |
| $10 | 13 | 1 in 4.15 | 69.5% |
| $20 | 14 | 1 in 4.07 | 74.5% |
| $30 | 2 | 1 in 3.55 | 75.1% |
| $50 | 7 | 1 in 3.50 | 78.1% |
| $100 | 4 | 1 in 3.63 | 80.0% |
A $50 Texas ticket wins roughly once every 3.5 tickets and returns about 78 cents on the dollar. A $2 ticket wins about once every 4.5 and returns 65 cents. The premium games are simply built to hit more often, a pattern that holds nationally too, as we cover in do more expensive scratch-offs give better odds.
Winning often is not the same as winning money
Here is where the question gets slippery. Overall odds count any prize, including the ones that just hand you your money back. A $50 ticket that wins one in three sounds great until you notice many of those wins are $50 or less, while every loss costs the full $50. A higher hit rate is not a higher profit rate, which is the distinction we unpack in what overall odds actually mean.
The trap sitting at number nine
Look at $20 Million Supreme in the table. It has the ninth-best odds in the state, the highest payout percentage of any Texas price tier, and a $20,000,000 headline prize. It also has zero top prizes left. Every one of them has already been claimed, and the game is still on the shelf at $100 a ticket.
Nothing on that ticket tells you. The odds printed on the back are exactly what they were on launch day. This is the single clearest reason that "which one wins the most" is the wrong question to stop on, and it is the heart of why you are playing scratch-offs wrong.
The better question
If you want the games that win often and are worth winning, look at the right-hand column. $1,000,000 Crossword pairs top-ten odds with an 86.7 ValueScore™ and six $1 million prizes still unclaimed. Casino Millions rates 83.3 with eight top prizes left, and Loteria Supreme rates 83.2. Those are the tickets doing both jobs at once.
One local quirk worth knowing: Texas currently runs two different games called $1,000,000 Crossword. They share odds of 1 in 3.41, but the newer one is by far the stronger of the pair, so check the game number on the ticket before you buy.
Odds are a fixed number printed at the factory. Prizes remaining change every day. Check both, and you can see the full Texas board on our Texas page, the state rankings on our Texas ValueScore page, or the national picture on our ValueScore rankings. Our earlier breakdown of the best Texas scratch-offs by odds, payout, and prizes remaining covers the same board from a different angle.
