Texas Lottery Releases ‘Lucky 7′ Series – What Are My Odds
The Texas Lottery has just dropped a new series of tickets, the 'Lucky 7" series. Over the years, I have become a fan of any tickets that feature the number 7. Just something about scratching off and seeing a 7 winning symbol.
Here are the top prizes for each price point in the 'Lucky 7 series.
- $5 ticket has a top prize of $200,000
- $10 ticket has a top prize of $500,000
- $20 ticket has a top prize of $1 million
- $50 ticket has a top prize of $2.5 million
It's always tun to break down the odds to see what your chance of winning is. Let's break down the $10 Lucky 7 game. To see odds on all the games, visit the Texas Lottery website.
Every $10 book for the Lucky 7 Doubler contains 50 tickets and costs $500.00. You are guaranteed to win $260.00 with each book. So the odds are always in favor of the Texas Lottery unless you find that lucky book.
For this ticket, your odds are actually better for winning $200. The odds of winning any prize on this game are 1 in 3.83. Remember, these are just odds. I have seen instances of up to 10 losers in a row. I have also rarely seen back-to-back-back winners.
- $10 1 in 10
- $20 1 in 14.29
- $30 1 in 18.18
- $50 1 in 40
- $100 1 in 109.89
- $200 1 in 500
- $500 1 in 4,800
- $1,000 1 in 40,000
- $10,000 1 in 804,000
- $500,000 1 in 2,010,000
There is just something that feels luckier about finding 7s for the win. Maybe it's just one of my beliefs.
