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 New Hampshire as of October 14, 2026, $1 games average 62.2%, $2 games average 67.1%, $5 games average 69.1%, $10 games average 72.6%, $20 games average 75.3%, $25 games average 78.7%. That is a tendency, not a rule: within this $3 tier the spread between the best and worst game is 3.1 payout points, which is why the table matters more than the tier.
