Best $5 Missouri Scratchers (November 2026)

Data captured · 15 active $5 games

As of November 6, 2026, 15 $5 scratchers are on sale in Missouri, averaging 70.5% current payout. The best of them is SAPPHIRE 7S at 76.5% ($3.83 back per ticket, 1 in 3.45 for any prize). MONEY MONEY MONEY tops the list below at 85.6%, but its figures come from prize tiers that disagree about how many of its tickets are left, so we do not lead with it.

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 Missouri as of November 6, 2026, $1 games average 69.6%, $2 games average 66.3%, $10 games average 75.3%, $20 games average 75.8%, $30 games average 83.2%, $50 games average 80.5%. That is a tendency, not a rule: within this $5 tier the spread between the best and worst game is 26.7 payout points, which is why the table matters more than the tier.
