AUSTIN – Starting Sept. 5, Texas Lottery® players could experience the thrill of a big victory in an instant or even a trip to Las Vegas when they play any of the games in the new Winnings scratch ticket family. The four-game family, with tickets priced from $1 to $20, is loaded with more than $250 million in total cash prizes, including top prizes ranging from $5,000 to $1 million. In addition, Texas Lottery players can enter their non-winning tickets into the $5 Million Vegas Challenge® Promotional Second-Chance Drawings for a chance to win $100 cash plus an entry into a second drawing for a trip for two to Las Vegas to play the $5 Million Vegas Challenge®.
“After completing another year of record lottery sales, the Texas Lottery is looking to begin the 2024 fiscal year on a high note with the Winnings scratch ticket family,” said Gary Grief, executive director of the Texas Lottery. “Coupled with the $5 Million Vegas Challenge® second-chance promotion and the creative printing effects that will make these four games stand out at retail locations, the Texas Lottery expects the Winnings family to be popular among its players. These tickets will certainly lead to significant revenue for public education in Texas over the next year. While we wish our players good luck as they enjoy the new Winnings scratch ticket games, we want to remind them to play responsibly. It only takes one ticket to win.”
