## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

}
```

### Use cases

- Show Texas players which scratch-off games still have top prizes, sorted by `top_prizes_remaining`.
- Rank every Texas game by expected return, since the state publishes tickets per game and all tiers.
- Tell Texas retailers which games are close to depletion from the share of prizes left.

### Coverage and freshness

Texas publishes every prize tier, the ticket price, the number of tickets in each game and the overall odds, so expected value is computed for every game.

### Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing. These are the current Apify prices, read on 2026-11-06.

| Event | Price | When it is charged |
|---|---|---|
| `result` | $0.015 | Each record delivered to your dataset |
| `apify-actor-start` | $0.003 | When a run starts, once per GB of run memory with a minimum of one |

At the default 512 MB, a run that delivers 100 records costs $1.503.

- Apify asks for a maximum spend of at least $0.018 per run on this actor.
- Accounts on the free Apify plan receive up to 10 results per run.
- If nothing matches or the source fails, you get one row with an `error` field and no `result` charge. The start event still applies to the run.
- Set a maximum cost per run and the actor stops delivering results when it reaches that limit.

### FAQ

**How fresh is the data?**

As fresh as the Texas Lottery report at run time. Most lotteries update daily or weekly.

**Is expected value official?**

No. It is computed from official prize counts so you can compare games.

**What can I filter by?**

The input accepts `sortBy`, `minTicketPrice`, `onlyWithTopPrizesLeft`, `onlyAllTopPrizesLeft`, `gameName`, `gameNumbers` and `includeOdds`. The Input and filters section explains each one.

**Can I run it on a schedule?**

Yes. Create an Apify schedule for the actor, then send the dataset to your database, a spreadsheet or a webhook.

### Run it through the Apify API

Replace `<TOKEN>` with your Apify API token.

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/jackpotledger~texas-scratch-off-prizes-remaining/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"sortBy": "top_prizes_left", "maxGames": 20}'
```

With the Apify CLI:

```bash
apify call jackpotledger/texas-scratch-off-prizes-remaining --input '{"sortBy": "top_prizes_left", "maxGames": 20}'
```

Every run writes to a dataset that you can export as JSON, CSV or Excel from the Storage tab or through the Apify API.

### Responsible play

This actor reports official prize data. It does not predict results and no game can guarantee a win. Expected value is an estimate based on prizes still unclaimed and assumes prizes are claimed in proportion to tickets sold. Play responsibly; in the US, help is available at 1-800-GAMBLER.
