Here's all you need to know about Texas Two Step, including a short history of how the game started, the prizes it offers, and more.
Texas Two Step Overview
Finding inspiration in the famous dance (also known as Country Two Step), the Texas Two Step game had its first draw on May 18, 2001. To mark this special occasion, the Texas Lottery also co-sponsored a two-step dance contest in Pasadena. One couple, selected from 17 two-stepping couples, won the first prize which consisted of an all-expense trip to Florida.
Initially, the draws were held on Tuesdays and Fridays. However, effective June 26, 2004 it was decided by the three-member board of the Texas Lottery Commission that the new draw days would be Mondays and Thursdays.

Biggest Texas Two Step Jackpots
Since its launch, Texas Two Step has offered some big jackpots for its participants.
