Texas Lottery players across the state are gearing up for tonight’s Lotto Texas drawing, with the jackpot climbing to an estimated $18.25 million for Monday, January 26, 2026. For those opting for the lump sum, the estimated cash value stands at $10 million, making this one of the more closely watched draws of the month.
The official drawing is scheduled to take place at approximately 10:12 PM Central Time, in line with the Texas Lottery’s standard draw schedule. Lotto Texas draws are held three times a week — on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays — and tickets must be purchased before sales close shortly ahead of the draw.
According to the Texas Lottery’s official drawing schedule, results are final only once the drawing is complete and verified. In the event of any discrepancy between early reports and the official results, the certified numbers released by the Texas Lottery always take precedence.
Tonight’s jackpot reflects the annuitized prize total, which is paid out over time if selected by the winner. Players who choose the cash value option would receive an estimated $10 million before taxes, paid in a single lump sum. The final cash value is determined shortly after ticket sales close and may vary slightly depending on sales and interest rates.
Lotto Texas requires players to match all six numbers to win the jackpot. If no ticket matches all numbers drawn tonight, the jackpot will roll over to the next scheduled draw, continuing to grow until a winning ticket is sold.
Once the drawing concludes, winning numbers are typically published within minutes on official lottery platforms and at licensed retailers statewide. Winners have up to 180 days from the draw date to claim their prizes, subject to Texas Lottery validation rules.
As always, players are encouraged to play responsibly and double-check their tickets after the draw. With millions on the line tonight, anticipation is high — and for one lucky ticket holder, this draw could be life-changing.
