Good idea. Without our Veterans We would not be living our lives today as we do.

Anything to help any USA Veteran is a blessing to them from the American People.

Thank you Texas for the effort to help support our Veterans

Is a great idea but i agree with you litebets for me is too low but like usual they are always playing politics with it...Why not price it at: 5 or 10 dollars that way the VA gets: 90 million a year and actually a scratchoff means that it will be like 9 million for 1 or 2 years which to me if they are going to do that they shouldn't do anything...

What a great idea! This is a much better idea than those NFL scratch-off that are now on the market. A better cause although priced a little low. Why not $5.00 or $10.00. VA service everywhere could sure use the bucks.

Two politicians with a truly great idea and no lying involved.

This has to be one of the seven signs of the Apocalypse.

Texas Lottery unveils scratch-off ticket that benefits veterans

The Texas Lottery Commission on Nov. 9 just ahead of Veterans Day will start selling the first scratch-off ticket dedicated to a cause other than public education, where game profits now go.

The Veterans Cash scratch-off ticket is predicted to pour $9 million a year into veterans' services when fully operational, and $5 million for the start-up year. The red, white and blue, eagle-adorned tickets will cost $2 apiece with a top prize of $20,000.
