Official Texas Lottery data as of October 30, 2026 · Updated daily · 8 active $2 games ranked
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 8 active $2 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: Patriotic Payout.
Every one of the state's veterans-themed scratch-offs is a $2 ticket, and $2 sits in the same low-payout band as $1 — typically the low-to-mid 60s cents back per dollar. If you want a cheap ticket and better odds of getting something back, stepping up to $5 or $10 usually beats staying at $2.

How this ranking works
Because every game here costs the same $2, 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.
