All About the 8s — $5 Texas Scratch-Off #2727
All About the 8s (#2727) is a $5 Texas scratch-off launched on June 1, 2026. As of October 25, 2026 it ranks #77 of 77 active games on current payout (46.8%, $2.34 expected back per ticket) and #21 of 21 $5 games, #75 on any-prize odds (1 in 6.09) and #5 on top-prize odds (1 in 302,700). Since launch the payout has fallen 21.1 points (68.0% at launch) and your chance of winning something has fallen 29.7% (1 in 4.28 at launch). 2 of 4 top prizes of $100,000 remain, and we estimate 605,399 tickets are still unsold (88.2% sold). Its current figures fail our plausibility check (the caution below), so whatever its place in the list, we do not count it among the best Texas scratch-offs to buy. A caution on the current figures: the any-prize odds have moved from 1 in 4.28 to 1 in 6.09, further than a game's odds really move. Its prize tiers disagree about how many tickets are left (between 0.26 million and 0.49 million), usually because small prizes are claimed late, and the current odds and payout lean on that disagreement. The printed odds are the safer guide, and our summaries do not name this game the best of anything (how we estimate).
