Starting today, April 17, 2013, the Lotto Texas game will include an optional add-on purchase called Extra!.
The Extra! option, available for an additional $1 per play, allows players to increase their prize amount for matching three, four or five of six numbers. Additionally, Lotto Texas players who match two numbers will automatically win a $2 prize if they purchased the Extra! add-on feature.
Another change to the Lotto Texas game is a change in the length of the annuitized jackpot prize-payment period from 25 years to 30 years.
Lotto Texas tickets puchased on or after April 14, 2013, include the changes, and the first drawing that includes the changes is April 17, 2013.
