Texas Lottery To End Some Games

By: Chris Whited, KRBC News

The Texas Lottery Commission has announced it will end several scratch-off games next month due to low sales.  Among those games include the $130 Million Spectacular and the $130 Million Payout Bonanza that retail for $50. The games will be discontinued even though several of the top prizes are still up for grabs.

Lottery officials say the two tickets are not selling well in a troubled economy and are taking up valuable shelf space. The Commission reported last years state lottery revenues were down about  $45.1 million dollars. The Commission does plan to offer larger prizes on the lower-price point scratch-offs in hopes of increasing sales.
