The House Bill 54 for the establishment of the Texas State Lottery was introduced on July 11, 1991. The amendment to the Texas constitution was approved by the voters of Texas on November 5, 1991, authorizing lottery sales in Texas. The first game introduced by the lottery was a scratch-off game called Lone Star Millions, and its first ticket was sold to then-Governor Ann Richards on May 29, 1992. It was on April 23, 2013, the House voted not to recommission the Lottery Texas Commission, which would probably end the lottery in Texas. Later that day, the House reversed the course with a new vote on the bill.
The famous Joan R. Ginther became a four-time winner of prizes over $1 million from 1993 to 2010, first from Texas Lotto and then later from scratch tickets. The majority of winning tickets were bought from Texas Lottery and made her a lucky lottery winner.
All or Nothing was introduced by Texas Lottery in 2012, and since then the game has been fulfilling the dreams of many with its rewarding payouts structure.
