As always, I like to break down numbers and stats for Texas Lottery scratch tickets. So I thought I would take the $10 ticket that has been the best to me over the past few years, the 'Monopoly' series of tickets. The latest edition has been released recently and still has all the TOP PRIZES remaining.  So I thought, I would break down the odds on a full book, just for fun:
