Best $5 Texas Scratch-Off Tickets Right Now

Official Texas Lottery data as of July 27, 2026 · Updated daily · 17 active $5 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 17 active $5 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: $100,000 Cash.

At $5 the payout starts to climb — typically into the high-60s cents per dollar — while the ticket count for a given budget doesn't drop off a cliff. It's a reasonable middle ground if you want more scratching than a $10+ game gives you without settling for $1/$2 economics.

How this ranking works

Because every game here costs the same $5, 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.
