Lonestar Scratchers · Texas only
On average, every scratch ticket loses money, but some lose a lot less than others. We check every Texas game every day so you can pick the ones with the most prize money left. The choice is yours.
Most tickets win nothing. About 3 out of 4 pay $0. Play for fun, not to make money. Play at your own risk.
Every game gets a score called Back per $1. It shows, on average, how much of each dollar you could get back in prizes. For example, 50¢ means a $20 ticket gives back about $10. The higher the score, the better.

The best value overall, the strongest pick at each price, the best shot at a big prize, and the game that wins most often.
Games that give back less than the alternatives at the same price, or whose top prize is already gone. A price with nothing worth skipping shows nothing here.
