All figures are statewide estimates from official Texas Lottery prize-claims data. This does not predict what’s in any specific store’s packs. Every scratch-off is negative expected value — this helps you spend smarter, not win more.
All 4 active $1 Texas Lottery scratch-off games, ranked by estimated value — how much prize money is still on the table per dollar spent. Top of the list right now: Easy...1-2-3.
The $1 tier prints more tickets for a given budget than any other price, but it's also the lowest-payout tier the Texas Lottery sells — expect somewhere around 60¢ back per dollar in prizes, the low end of the whole lineup. It's the cheapest way to buy a few minutes of scratching, not the smartest way to get money back.
Because every game here costs the same $1, we rank by value left on the table: how much of the original prize money is still unclaimed relative to tickets sold, and how the live top-prize odds compare to the odds printed at launch.
Live top-prize odds show your current 1-in-X shot at the top prize and how it stacks up against launch; prize value above 1.0× means the remaining tickets are richer than the launch average. All figures are statewide estimates and do not change the fixed odds on a single ticket.
