Our estimate
This above-cost estimate is on a temporary model hold, so it is not ranked or simulated. Public data cannot show whether every unclaimed prize is still on an unsold ticket.

Dated interpretation
What the inputs show, and why the model is held
On 2026-09-18, the model combined 365,881 estimated unsold tickets with $1,896,295.00 in unclaimed prize value. That arithmetic produces $5.18 back per $5 ticket, or $0.18 above cost.
The result is not presented as a recommendation or simulation input. Public claim counts do not show whether an unclaimed prize is on an unsold ticket, a purchased unscratched ticket, or a ticket whose claim has not posted. Source or calculation evidence must resolve that gap before this model can be used.

“Printed” is how many of each prize the game started with; the bar shows the share not yet claimed. Claims lag real scratching, so treat this as recent history, not a live count.

How we compare this gameWhat comes back per ticket, on average
The modeled return and chance to finish ahead are summarized at the top of this page. Both use statewide public prize and sales data; neither describes a specific ticket, store, pack, or machine. Switch to Advanced for the exact payback, net expected value, profit odds, prize ratio, and top-prize odds.
Data sources and methodologyWhere these numbers come from
Sales source: Texas Open Data statewide net sales aggregate by game.
Sales coverage: 2026-09 to 2027-01 (38,124 source rows)
Snapshot: 2026-09-18. Estimated tickets sold = statewide public net sales divided by ticket price; estimated tickets remaining = published approximate tickets printed minus estimated tickets sold.
Temporary model hold. Unclaimed prize counts and estimated unsold-ticket counts are both public-data inputs, but their quotient cannot locate those prizes on unsold tickets.
