Did you know Texas Lottery players can now show their appreciation for Texas veterans by purchasing the new Money Bags scratch ticket.

The $2 game benefits the Texas Veterans Commission Fund for Veterans’ Assistance.
Money Bags features six top prizes of $30,000 and more than $9.1 million in total prizes. The overall odds of winning any prize are one in 4.70, including break-even prizes.
Since the first veterans’ themed scratch ticket was launched in 2009, the Texas Lottery has contributed more than $60 million for programs supporting Texas veterans.

The Fund for Veterans’ Assistance makes grants available to eligible charitable organizations, local government agencies, and Veterans Service Organizations that provide direct services to Texas veterans and their families. These programs provide financial assistance, transportation services, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder counseling and housing assistance.

The Texas Lottery first launched the veterans’ themed scratch ticket game on Nov. 9, 2009, following the passage of a bill during the 81st Legislature. Players interested in finding the game in their area can use the Scratch Ticket and Retailer Locator on the Texas Lottery website.
