About the Texas Lottery
The lottery in Texas was launched in 1992 and has since established itself as one of the most successful state lotteries. It’s awarded over $43 billion in prizes, with the top winner thus far claiming $227 million in 2019. Its first offering was Lone Star Millions, a scratch game that resulted in over 20 million tickets sold on the first day, setting a world record. There are now 17 draws in eight different games: Pick 3, Daily 4, All or Nothing, Cash Five, Lotto Texas, Texas Two-Step, Powerball, and Mega Millions.

When Texas residents play the lottery, they’re increasing their chances of winning the jackpot, but they’re also improving others’ lives.
