The short answer. Lotto Texas is a six-from-54 jackpot game run by the Texas Lottery.
Six numbers are drawn from 1 to 54 every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:12 PM Central time, and
a line wins the jackpot by matching all six in any order. There is no bonus ball, so the result is just
six numbers and nothing else.

6 numbers from 1–54 |
Monday, Wednesday and Saturday |
11:12 PM ET |
The format is about as plain as a jackpot lottery gets. You choose six different numbers between 1 and
54. On draw night six balls come out of a single set of 54. Nothing else is drawn: no Powerball, no Star
Ball, no bonus number from the same pool. When you look up a result you are looking at six numbers, and
that is the whole of it.
Order never matters. The balls come out of the machine in whatever sequence chance gives them, a results
page may list them sorted from lowest to highest, and your ticket lists them in the order you chose. All
three describe the same set of six, and only the set counts.

Why no bonus ball makes this game easier to understand
Most people arriving from Powerball or Mega Millions expect two kinds of ball. The big multi-state games
pair a main draw with a smaller, separate pool, and that second pool is what pushes their odds into the
hundreds of millions. Lotto Texas never added one. Its odds come from a single question: how many
different groups of six can you make from 54 numbers?
The counting, step by step
Pick the first ball: 54 possibilities. The second: 53, because one is gone. Then 52, 51, 50 and 49.
Multiplying those six together gives 18,595,558,800 ordered
sequences. But order does not matter, and any group of six can be arranged in
6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 720 different orders.
Divide one by the other and you are left with
25,827,165 distinct groups of six. Exactly one of them is drawn.
Lotto Texas top-prize odds: there are 25,827,165 ways to choose 6 numbers from 1–54, so matching all of them with one line is 1 in 25,827,165. This is arithmetic on the game’s format, not a claim about any draw.
That figure is the same for every draw, forever, unless the Texas Lottery changes the size of the pool.
It does not shrink because a jackpot has rolled for weeks and it does not grow after someone wins. The
line is computed from the catalogue each time the page loads, so if the format ever changes, the number
above changes with it.
How does it compare with other six-number games?
This site follows four games that draw six numbers from a single pool. Putting them side by side shows
how much a few extra numbers in the pool matter. Each row below is calculated from the game’s own
format, not typed in.
Six-number games on this site, one line each
| Game | Pool | Jackpot odds, one line |
|---|
| Lotto Texas |
6 from 54 |
1 in 25,827,165 |
| Florida Lotto |
6 from 53 |
1 in 22,957,480 |
| New York Lotto |
6 from 59 |
1 in 45,057,474 |
| Jackpot Triple Play |
6 from 46 |
1 in 9,366,819 |
The pattern is not linear. Going from 46 numbers to 54 adds only eight balls, yet it multiplies the number
of possible lines by roughly 2.8.
Every extra ball in the pool can partner with every combination that already existed, which is why pool
size is the single most important fact about any lottery format — far more than the jackpot on
the billboard.
What time is the Lotto Texas draw in the UAE, India and Pakistan?
Texas runs on Central time, one hour behind New York. The Texas Lottery draws at 10:12 PM Central,
which is why our catalogue lists it as 11:12 PM Eastern — the same moment, written in the zone that
most US results are quoted in. For anyone in the Gulf or South Asia, both of those are the middle of the
night or early the next morning.

Converted for 9 October 2026. US clocks change in March and November, which moves every US draw by an hour against the Gulf and India; this table is recalculated every time the page loads.
The practical consequence is the date. A Saturday draw in Texas is a Sunday-morning result in Dubai,
Mumbai or Karachi, and our archive files it under the Texas date, Saturday. If you are looking for
“Sunday’s Lotto Texas” and cannot find it, that is why: there was no Sunday draw, only
a Saturday draw that finished after you went to bed. The same logic applies to the Monday and Wednesday
draws, which arrive on Tuesday and Thursday mornings on this side of the world.
Lotto Texas shares its three nights with Powerball and Lotto America, so a reader following all three
has three results to look at on those mornings. For every US draw converted into Gulf and Indian time in
one table, see our guide to
US lottery draw times in India and the UAE.
How do I check a Lotto Texas result on this site?
- Open the Lotto Texas results page. The newest draw is at the top, with the Texas draw date beside it.
- Confirm the date on your ticket matches the draw date, remembering that the Texas date is usually a day behind your own.
- Count how many of your six numbers appear anywhere in the drawn six. Position is irrelevant.
- For an older ticket, scroll down to the dated archive on the same page, which keeps every draw we hold.
- If you think a line has won anything, confirm it with the Texas Lottery before doing anything else. Only the operator’s own record decides a prize.
The page also carries a live clock set to Texas time, so you can see at a glance whether tonight’s
draw has happened yet. All Texas games we follow are gathered on the
Texas lottery results page.
We are not the Texas Lottery. This is an independent results archive. We do not sell tickets, take
entries or pay prizes, and we have no connection with any operator. Prize amounts, ticket prices and
who may play are set by the Texas Lottery and depend on where you are; ask the official operator.
Do past Lotto Texas numbers help you pick the next ones?
Three draws a week builds an archive quickly, and a long archive always looks as if it contains patterns.
Some numbers will have come up more often than others; some will have gone weeks without appearing. None
of that carries information about the next draw. The balls are mixed afresh each time, every one of the
combinations counted above is equally likely on every night, and a number that has not appeared lately is
not owed anything.
Our lucky numbers page publishes the frequency counts anyway, because people
ask for them, and puts next to them a test of how that kind of analysis performs against random picks
across hundreds of past draws. It performs the same. If you want the longer version of that argument,
our piece on jackpot guessing numbers covers it.
