The odds and statistics for Texas's scratch tickets are based on official lottery data processed through statistical models. This is to help players understand their chances of winning in Texas's scratch tickets.

Estimated % Tickets Remaining: If not provided by the state, this is estimated based on the number of claimed prizes relative to the game's original prize structure. For example, if a game started with 1 million scratch tickets and half of the top prizes have been claimed, it is estimated that about 50% of the scratch tickets have been sold.
Current Odds to Win $100/$1,000/$10,000 or More: These odds indicate the likelihood of winning higher-tier prizes in Texas scratch tickets. They are determined by summing the probabilities of all applicable prize amounts using the current odds.

A positive EV indicates an expected profit per ticket, while a negative EV indicates an expected loss.
