Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, D-San Antonio, and Rep. Chris Turner, D-Burleson, said Monday the dedicated ticket was created under a new state law and was a tough sell.

More than 8.1 million tickets have been printed, comparable to other $2 games.
The top cash award is $20,000 and the new game is expected to bring in $9 million annually for veterans.
