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 Maryland as of November 5, 2026, $1 games average 62.8%, $2 games average 64.6%, $3 games average 65.3%, $5 games average 69.1%, $10 games average 73.8%, $20 games average 76.6%, $30 games average 79.5%.
