Official Texas Lottery data as of July 27, 2026 · Updated daily · 14 active $20 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 14 active $20 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: Instant Millions.
$20 is the price our own pool guide points people toward, for a reason: it's usually the best combination of decent payout (typically mid-70s cents per dollar) and a ticket count a group can actually afford multiples of. If you're weighing quantity against quality, $20 is where quality starts winning.

How this ranking works
Because every game here costs the same $20, 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.
