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 Massachusetts today, $1 games average 71.8%, $5 games average 75.1%, $10 games average 82.6%, $20 games average 84.3%, $30 games average 83.0%, $50 games average 64.5%. That is an average, not a rule: within this $2 tier the spread between the best and worst game is 30.9 payout points, which is why the table matters more than the tier.
