Texas Lottery Unveils Sparkling New Gem 7s Scratch Games

Games of chance seem a little dangerous. That's why the Texas Lottery has so many options. You stop in a store to grab a drink or some gas, and you see those scratch-offs staring back at you, and you just have to try because what if you pick the one scratch-off that wins $100,000 or more?  Heck, you would just be happy with an extra $20.

Then comes the thrill of scratching off the ticket. You may be the one who scratches off the symbols and not the prize amount, just to surprise yourself if you win. Then you scratch off the three matching symbols, and you know you've won. You haven't scratched off the prize amount, so you could be laughing all the way to the bank.

That's the thrill of the Texas Lottery, and that's why it's fun when they release a new game. That's exactly what they have done, and this go-around, the gems can make you money.
