How to Play Texas Lotto

Entering Lotto Texas can be done in two ways:

• By visiting any Texas Lottery retailer
• Online, by ordering tickets from the comfort of your own home

If you want to enter Lotto Texas, you must select six numbers from 1 to 54.

In case you don’t know which numbers you want to pick, you can mark the ‘QP’ box and you will get a random selection of numbers from the lottery terminal. Alternatively, you can also ask your lottery retailer for a “Quick Pick” ticket. If you want to pick your numbers online and play through a lottery courier, you may use the number generator to get a set of random numbers, ready to use.

The price of a Lotto Texas ticket is $1 per play, and the Extra! option is $1 per play.

Lotto Texas draws take place three times a week, on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday evenings at 10:12 PM CT. Ticket sales cut off at 10:02 PM CT, before reopening for the next draw at 10:15 PM.

Multi-Draw Option

If you don’t want to worry about missing a Lotto Texas draw, you can enter the same set of numbers in more than one draw. You just need to mark the “Multi-Draw” box to enter up to 15 consecutive drawings.

Extra! Option

The Extra! option offers you the chance to increase your non-jackpot prize. For just an additional $1, you can win up to $10,000 more! You can win a prize if you match only two of the six numbers drawn.

Jackpot Payment Options

The grand prize can be paid out either as annuity or cash. On your Lotto Texas ticket, you can choose to mark “30 ANNUAL PAYMENTS” or the “CASH VALUE OPTION” to show how you’d like to receive your jackpot.

When you mark “30 ANNUAL PAYMENTS”, you will receive your prize in 30 installments over 29 years.

But if you want to spend more of your winnings at once, you will have to mark “CASH VALUE OPTION” to receive your prize as a single payment of the present cash value of the jackpot prize.

Once you mark the option on your ticket, you cannot change it at a later date. Go to the Odds and Prizes page for more information about the Lotto Texas jackpot and the other ways to win.
