This game has a total of four $1 million prizes and so far, two have been claimed. The odds of winning any kind of prize in this scratch game is one in 3.42. These odds include break-even prizes.

In other Texas news, a winning Powerball ticket that was bought on January 13, 2021 in Waco matched all five white balls but not the Powerball number. This means the holder of this ticket also wins $1 million! But if you've got unchecked tickets, now is the time to do it. The ticket and prize will expire on Monday, July 12 at 5 p.m. local time.
