Except for when it does: there are a bunch of people who have repeatedly jackpotted state lotteries, they're usually described as 'reclusive mathematicians'. But that isn't what I'm talking about. I just checked the TX Lottery Commission's site and it looks like scratchoffs would run, worst case, a 30% return. I can't be bothered to calculate the upper bounds, but I'd expect it to be 40%-ish. That seems good to me, I especially like that you can skip the part where you have to drive out to some hotel to meet an undercover Secret Service agent pretending to be a Wells Fargo employee responding to your help wanted notice in Soldier of Fortune.
