AUSTIN – Rev your engines! Beginning April 5, racecar fans and lottery players across Texas can make a pit stop at any Texas Lottery® retailer to pick up 50X Speedway Riches, the first Texas Motor Speedway branded scratch ticket game from the Texas Lottery. The new $5 ticket offers $19.75 million in total cash prizes, including four $50,000 top prizes in addition to non-cash second-chance prizes. The overall odds of winning an instant-win cash prize are one in 3.99, including break-even prizes.
“Since our partnership began in 2015, Texas Motor Speedway has proven to be an innovative and reliable partner in offering promotional opportunities to Texas Lottery players,” said Gary Grief, executive director of the Texas Lottery. “We are thrilled to continue this partnership by issuing the first Texas Motor Speedway scratch ticket game, which includes a second-chance promotion with once-in-a-lifetime prizes that fans will love.”
The Texas Motor Speedway Second-Chance Promotion provides players the chance to enter non-winning 50X Speedway Riches tickets into any of the four promotional second-chance drawings to be held throughout the run of the game.

“The 50X Speedway Riches ticket from the Texas Lottery is a fantastic opportunity to help showcase and celebrate Texas Motor Speedway’s 25 Seasons of Speed,” said Texas Motor Speedway President and General Manager Eddie Gossage. “The April 5 launch takes place less than one month before our major event season opens with the May 1-2 Genesys 300 and XPEL 375 NTT INDYCAR SERIES
doubleheader and should be a huge success in time for the June 13 NASCAR All-Star Race. The Texas Lottery is so important to Texas education and veterans, so we’re honored to partner with them to help continue their great efforts.”
In fiscal year 2020, the Texas Lottery was proud to generate more than $1.6 billion for the Foundation School Fund and $22.2 million for the Fund for Veterans’ Assistance, the highest contributions to Texas education and Texas veterans since the dedication of such funds by the Texas Legislature.
