Best $5 Michigan Scratch-Offs (October 2026)

Data captured October 25, 2026, 04:03 UTC · 31 active $5 games

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 Michigan as of October 25, 2026, $1 games average 60.8%, $2 games average 62.3%, $10 games average 74.6%, $20 games average 75.2%, $30 games average 77.9%, $50 games average 77.0%. That is a tendency, not a rule: within this $5 tier the spread between the best and worst game is 26.8 payout points, which is why the table matters more than the tier.
