8 Texas Lottery Scratch Offs That Are Overdue to Pay Out Millions

If I asked you to randomly select one card out of a deck of 52 cards, the odds of it being a queen of diamonds would be 1 in 52, or 1.9%.

If I were to remove 5 cards from that deck (none of which were the queen of diamonds), the odds of that select card being picked would be 1 in 47, or 2.1%

The chances aren't that much better, but still...they are better.

Texas Lottery Provides the Data

With easily accessible data on the Texas Lottery website, you can use the same math to determine which scratch-off games have the best chances to pay off big time with their top prizes.

Keep in mind that the chances of hitting the big payoff are still extremely small. Instead of the odds being 1 in 2,000,000, that could be adjusted to 1 in 1,000,000, or lower, in some of the games listed below.

That doesn't make for great odds, but when it comes to deciding on how to spend my $5 or $20, I'm going to go with the game that gives the best present-day odds.
