10 Texas Lottery Games Overdue to Pay Out Millions in October

October is here and already there have been several big Texas Lottery scratch-off winners in Austin ($1 million), Laredo ($1 million), Stephenville ($500,000), and Longview ($1 million).

The odds of winning a top prize in any scratch-off game are tiny, usually around 1 in 2 million.

Now...let's say you were given the choice of buying a scratch-off ticket with odds of around 1 in 750,000 of winning the jackpot instead of 1 in 2 million, wouldn't you opt for that one? Granted, the odds of winning are still microscopic, but it's better than it could be.

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

Once again, the odds aren't good...just better.
