Price is the strongest predictor of payout on a scratcher: across a lottery's games, pricier tickets tend to return a larger share of their price in prizes. In Connecticut as of November 6, 2026, $2 games average 64.0%, $3 games average 66.4%, $5 games average 65.6%, $10 games average 70.0%, $20 games average 73.5%, $30 games average 66.0%. That is a tendency, not a rule: within this $1 tier the spread between the best and worst game is 2.8 payout points, which is why the table matters more than the tier.
