Privacy Policy
scratchoddstexas is an informational website built around public lottery data, educational modeling, retailer lookup tools, and paper simulations. It does not sell tickets, process payments, award prizes, or ask users to create accounts.
Information we handle
The public pages may process search inputs such as ZIP codes, selected games, budgets, simulator settings, and wording preferences so the website can respond to the action you chose.
The website stores a small local browser preference after the age gate is accepted and may store a local wording-mode preference. These preferences stay in your browser.
Simulation runs are ephemeral. The site returns the result to your browser and does not save a simulation history for users to view later.
Advertising and cookies
If advertising is enabled, third-party advertising partners such as Google may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, or similar identifiers to serve, measure, and improve ads.
Google may use advertising cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this site or other websites. Users can manage Google ad personalization through Google's ad settings and browser privacy controls.
Advertising is intended to support the educational website. Ads do not imply affiliation, endorsement, approval, or sponsorship by any state lottery.
Public data sources
The site uses public game, prize, winner-claim, retailer, sales, and artwork information for informational analysis and game identification.
Ticket artwork may be shown from public Texas Lottery materials for identification only. The website is independent and not endorsed, affiliated, approved, or sponsored by any state lottery.
Contact
Use the contact page for privacy questions, correction requests, data-source questions, or concerns about public information displayed on the site.
This policy may be updated as the website changes, especially before advertising or analytics tools are enabled publicly.
