New location for claim center and drawing studio
By Kate Northrop
AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Lottery has completed the move of its headquarters and drawing studio to a new location in Austin.
Previously situated at Grant Plaza on East Sixth Street, the Texas Lottery Commission will now occupy the newly-constructed George H.W. Bush building at 1801 N. Congress Ave.
"The Texas Lottery Commission is thrilled to make its home at the new state-of the-art George H.W. Bush Building in the Texas Capitol Complex," Executive Director Gary Grief said in a statement. "We look forward to welcoming all visitors to our new location, especially Texas Lottery players."
The facility will house the Austin claim center as well as the drawing studio.
Live draw times will not change. Players will be able to watch live drawings at the studio four times a day, Monday through Saturday. The drawings take place at 10:00 am, 12:27 pm, 6:00 pm, and 10:12 pm CT and can be watched through the public viewing window at the northeast corner of N. Congress Ave and E. 18th Street. There is also an inside viewing area for visitors.
Public parking is available in Garage R at the southeast corner of Brazos Street and E. 18th Street, the Lottery recommends.
Players can visit the new Austin claim center Monday through Friday, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm CT. The Lottery advised that visitors should be aware of ongoing construction in the neighborhood.

While I hate driving to/thru Austin, I sure hope to visit that building with a jackpot winning ticket!
That's the thing about growing cities like Austin and Nashville. The "ongoing construction" is prevalent every where. But if you are driving to Lottery Headquarters, all of a sudden the traffic is somehow not that bad......lol.
I hope you do to..
I'LL BE TRAVELING TO PICK MY BIG TICKETS WINNING FROM ONE TEXAS LOTTERIES JACKPOTS
Sounds like many lotteries could learn from their examples. A visitors area.
Think of the revenue Texas would get for Veterans if Sunday drawings were allowed. Four drawings for the 'little' guys is unprecedented and aside from Georgia with their 3x/day drawing am I correct that all other states only offer 2x/day drawings? Talking about pick 3 and 4 drawings only.
Not so much construction (except in Waco), just traffic super nuts in Austin.
Hi,
I have a question regarding the new lottery post web page, if anyone can give me some pointer on this will be much appreciated. As a premium member I can no longer search past 5 +1, 5, or 6 winning numbers. It's the only thing that I purchased lottery post. Now I don't see this feature anymore.
Btw about the previous post on help. I'm not talking about the seartch page for history of winning different state numbers but a combination of all winning numbers. The lottery post web page ended in 5n or 6n it's no longer there. Did they took out this feature?
