Best $10 District of Columbia Scratchers (October 2026)
As of October 14, 2026, 13 $10 scratchers are on sale in District of Columbia, averaging 75.6% current payout. The best of them is Money Bag Bonus at 75.2% ($7.52 back per ticket, 1 in 3.42 for any prize). Triple 777 tops the list below at 95.3%, but its figures come from prize tiers that disagree about how many of its tickets are left, so we do not lead with it.
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 District of Columbia as of October 14, 2026, $2 games average 64.2%, $3 games average 68.5%, $5 games average 70.8%, $20 games average 80.5%, $30 games average 77.7%. That is a tendency, not a rule: within this $10 tier the spread between the best and worst game is 24.8 payout points, which is why the table matters more than the tier.
