Texas Lottery
The main game from the Texas Lottery is Lotto Texas, a game whose tickets first went on sale 7th November 1992 with the first draw just a week later on 14th November 1992. It was to be two weeks until a winner was finally found for the Texas Lottery jackpot but on November 28th 1992 Janus Kallus of Schulenburg scooped at $21,760,794.64 jackpot which was paid in 20 annuity payments (AP). It was only in 1993 that the Cash Value option (CVO) became available at the same time as a midweek Wednesday draw was introduced. Unlike other lotteries in America the Texas Lottery requires that the choice between CVO and AP is made at the time of purchasing a ticket, other lottery states allow the player to make the decision after winning. The twice weekly draws for the Texas Lottery games on Wednesday and Saturday take place at 10.12pm Central time.
