2 New Texas Lottery Scratch Offs Added With a $250K Jackpot and Dinosaur Theme

(Longview, Texas) - Here's the thing about playing the Texas Lottery, at least for me anyway...I know I'm probably gonna lose but it's still fun to play. The key is to not go overboard with it. Spending $5 or $6 for some quick picks every once in a while keeps the game fun and you won't be worrying about emptying your bank account.

Same thing with a scratch off ticket. Use $20 to get four $5 tickets or 20 $1 tickets, maybe a couple of $10 tickets. However you decide to play, do it so it's fun for you but won't put you in a financial burden. To me, that's playing smart.

A Couple of New Texas Lottery Scratch Offs for October

On the Texas Lottery website, you'll find a page that lists all of the current games to play and the jackpots that are still available to win. A lot of people like having this page because it plays into their strategy of which games to play. It also tells how old the game is and when a game will be closing.

The Texas Lottery has two new scratch off tickets releasing (or already released depending on when you're reading this) on Monday, October 6; 100X Sonic Blast and Jurassic Park. You would think that the 100X Sonic Blast ticket would be based on the Sonic the Hedgehog games, but sadly, it's not. It does have a $250,000 jackpot though. The Jurassic Park ticket is self explanatory as it's based on the popular dinosaur movie franchise.
