| True Value of an instant ticket per $1 of the cost of the ticket | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Most Instant Tickets have an initial TRUE Value per $1 of between 60 and 73 cents. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| The TRUE Value changes as tickets are sold and prizes are claimed. The number | ||||||||||||||||||||
| of tickets claimed is updated as of every Saturday but is posted Monday afternoon. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Our calculations are based on information available at txlottery.org. We must assume | ||||||||||||||||||||
| that no winning tickets have been sold other than those already claimed (even though | ||||||||||||||||||||
| we know that's not true). We also must assume that LOSING tickets are sold in the | ||||||||||||||||||||
| exact same percentage as Winning tickets and Break-even tickets. | ||||||||||||||||||||
