The History of the Texas Lottery
On May 29, the Texas Lottery will formally commemorate the 30th anniversary of its founding, capping up a yearlong celebration.
When then-Gov. Ann Richards purchased the first lottery ticket in Texas on May 29, 1992, at Polk’s Feed Store in Oak Hill, she did it 47 days ahead of schedule. The ticket was a $1 Lone Star Millions scratch off.
Texas residents bought 23.2 million tickets during the Texas Lottery’s first 24-hour period, breaking the previous record for a first-day sale. In the first three hours of ticket sales, the Texas Lottery recovered its beginning expenses plus interest.
The Texas Lottery has been commemorating “30 Years of Winning” during the last year with a variety of promotional activities, as well as monthly content and giveaways on its social media platforms.
In addition, the 30TH Anniversary scratch ticket game was released in April 2022. It offered more than $24.9 million in total prizes, including five $100,000 top prizes and more than 217,000 prizes between $30 and $300. The game is now offered everywhere scratch-off tickets for the Texas Lottery are sold.
The Texas Lottery App has the following features
- Check the winning status of your scratch-off and draw game tickets by scanning the barcodes
- Select and keep your lucky numbers
- Receive updates on the current jackpot amounts
- View all Texas Lottery draw game winning numbers
- Participate in special second-chance draws

Ticket Checker
The Ticket Checker feature of the app will instantly let you know whether you’ve received a reward in recent drawings.
You have the option of doing a Quick Check, which involves checking a collection of numbers once, or adding your favorite digits to the app as a ticket to run a quick check on them later.
With the Ticket Checker, stay on top of your wins and never miss out on a reward!
Generator of Numbers
To generate a line of lottery numbers to enter into forthcoming drawings, use the Number Generator. Simply keep generating additional numbers if you don’t like the ones you’re given until you discover some that you want to play. The produced numbers may also be saved to the app so you can compare them to the results after the draw.
Notifications
Customize your alerts to view the most recent winning numbers first. You may configure alerts so that you are informed when a jackpot hits a certain amount, the results of a specific draw are verified, and more. You may choose to just get the information that is relevant to you thanks to the many choices.

Biggest Texas Lottery Winners
Eliberto Cantu – $177 million, March 31, 2017
Abernathy native and 71-year-old construction worker Eliberto Cantu won $1 million in the Mega Millions lotto after convincing a coworker to stop for gas on the way to work so he could purchase a cup of coffee and a ticket.
As soon as the lottery was legalized in Texas, he began buying tickets. If I knew him, I’d bet on his playing on. Rodrigo Cantu, the elder of the two, claimed his father’s 30-year habit was impossible to overcome. When the winning ticket was finally cashed in Arkansas, it became the greatest jackpot victory in the history of the state.
