In Texas, lottery winnings, including those from scratch-off tickets, are subject to federal income tax but not state income tax. The federal tax rate for gambling winnings can be as high as 24% for amounts over $5,000. Therefore, if you win $1,000 from scratch-off tickets, the federal tax withheld would typically be around $240, though the exact amount may vary based on individual tax situations. Texas does not impose additional state tax on these winnings.
