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%, $10 games average 75.6%, $20 games average 80.5%.
