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 Missouri today, $1 games average 70.2%, $2 games average 66.9%, $10 games average 74.1%, $20 games average 76.7%, $30 games average 81.7%, $50 games average 80.8%. That is an average, not a rule: within this $5 tier the spread between the best and worst game is 17.1 payout points, which is why the table matters more than the tier.
