New lottery game benefits veterans

Continuing its annual tradition of releasing patriotic- themed games ahead of Veterans Day, the Texas Lottery has introduced Patriotic Payout, a new $2 scratch ticket game dedicated to supporting Texas veterans and their families.

The game marks the 83rd veterans-themed ticket released over the past 16 years and continues a program that has generated nearly $280 million for the Texas Veterans Commission’s Fund for Veterans’ Assistance (FVA) since 2009.

“This new game is part of our ongoing efforts to honor and assist Texas veterans,” said Courtney Arbour, executive director of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, which oversees the Texas Lottery. “Since launching these dedicated $2 scratch ticket games 16 years ago, we’ve generated nearly $280 million for the Fund for Veterans’ Assistance — with a record $31.1 million in the last fiscal year alone.”
