Price is the strongest predictor of payout on a scratcher: the more a ticket costs, the larger the share of its price the lottery returns in prizes. In Louisiana today, $1 games average 70.3%, $2 games average 69.7%, $3 games average 71.5%, $5 games average 71.4%, $10 games average 72.5%. That is an average, not a rule: within this $20 tier the spread between the best and worst game is 17.4 payout points, which is why the table matters more than the tier.
