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 Ohio as of October 14, 2026, $1 games average 67.2%, $2 games average 65.8%, $5 games average 69.5%, $10 games average 74.1%, $20 games average 81.3%, $50 games average 90.2%. That is a tendency, not a rule: within this $30 tier the spread between the best and worst game is 6.5 payout points, which is why the table matters more than the tier.
