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 North Carolina as of October 25, 2026, $1 games average 62.0%, $2 games average 65.6%, $5 games average 69.9%, $10 games average 76.0%, $20 games average 75.2%, $50 games average 81.9%. That is a tendency, not a rule: within this $30 tier the spread between the best and worst game is 5.7 payout points, which is why the table matters more than the tier.
