Best $5 Florida Scratch-Offs (October 2026)
As of October 25, 2026, 21 $5 scratch-offs are on sale in Florida, averaging 73.4% current payout. The best of them is 50X The Cash (#1553) at 78.2% ($3.91 back per ticket, 1 in 3.96 for any prize). Bonus Letter Crossword tops the list below at 92.2%, 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 Florida as of October 25, 2026, $1 games average 63.4%, $2 games average 70.2%, $3 games average 69.8%, $10 games average 77.0%, $20 games average 77.7%, $30 games average 75.4%, $50 games average 75.6%. That is a tendency, not a rule: within this $5 tier the spread between the best and worst game is 28.9 payout points, which is why the table matters more than the tier.
