What Texas charges, and what you get for it
Higher-priced tickets almost always carry better overall odds and a higher payout rate, because the prize pool scales faster than the ticket price. This table is the state's own catalog, grouped by price.

Texas lottery sales by fiscal year
Straight from the lottery's published annual reports. Per-resident figures divide instant sales by the state population from the U.S. Census Bureau, Population Estimates Program (Vintage 2025) (30,188,424 residents), so they count every resident rather than only adults or only players.
| Fiscal year | Instant sales | Total sales | Instant share | Per resident | To the state |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | $6.43B | $7.91B | 81.3% | $213 | $1.78B |
| FY2024 | $6.64B | $8.39B | 79.2% | $220 | $1.98B |
| FY2023 | $6.73B | $8.73B | 77.1% | $223 | $2.13B |
| FY2022 | $6.73B | $8.30B | 81.1% | $223 | $1.97B |
| FY2021 | $6.62B | $8.11B | 81.6% | $219 | $1.97B |
| FY2020 | $5.56B | $6.70B | 82.9% | $184 | $1.66B |
| FY2019 | $4.85B | $6.25B | 77.5% | $161 | $1.62B |
Instant-game sales moved +32.8% across FY2019-FY2025. That figure is nominal dollars, not adjusted for inflation, and part of any increase reflects higher-priced tickets rather than more tickets sold.

Texas runs a fiscal year ending August 31, unlike the June 30 year most states use. Scratch-ticket sales are published only in the lottery's year-end sales summary, which is marked unaudited; the audited statements break out no scratch line, so both documents are cited. The transfer column is the Foundation School Fund transfer alone, on an accrual basis. Texas also transfers smaller sums to veterans' assistance and two other accounts, so this is the education transfer rather than every transfer.

How fast Texas top prizes get claimed
We snapshot every game's remaining prize counts daily, so we can show depletion rather than just the current number. This counts the drop in top prizes remaining each month across 74 tracked games whose top prize is $10,000 or more, 154 claimed in total over the window. No other site publishes this.
Top prizes claimed per month. A game that launched mid-window only contributes claims recorded after its first snapshot, so its opening month reads low.
ValueScore spread across Texas
Our ValueScore™ rates each game 0-100 on expected value, prize quality, win frequency and remaining inventory. Scores are ranked within the state, so a 60 in Texas means good relative to what else is on the shelf here.
See the ranked list on the Texas ValueScore ranking, or compare against other states on the national stats page.
