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, $3 games average 68.5%, $5 games average 70.8%, $10 games average 75.6%, $20 games average 80.5%, $30 games average 77.7%. That is a tendency, not a rule: within this $2 tier the spread between the best and worst game is 4.6 payout points, which is why the table matters more than the tier.
