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 Massachusetts as of October 31, 2026, $2 games average 66.5%, $5 games average 75.7%, $10 games average 83.7%, $20 games average 85.7%, $30 games average 81.8%, $50 games average 62.7%. That is a tendency, not a rule: within this $1 tier the spread between the best and worst game is 18.0 payout points, which is why the table matters more than the tier.
