Best $3 Oklahoma Scratchers (October 2026)
As of October 14, 2026, 6 $3 scratchers are on sale in Oklahoma, averaging 69.4% current payout. The best of them is Bingo Night at 65.2% ($1.96 back per ticket, 1 in 3.22 for any prize). Crossword tops the list below at 82.0%, 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 Oklahoma as of October 14, 2026, $1 games average 61.6%, $2 games average 61.6%, $5 games average 70.7%, $10 games average 77.1%, $20 games average 75.4%, $30 games average 74.9%. That is a tendency, not a rule: within this $3 tier the spread between the best and worst game is 20.2 payout points, which is why the table matters more than the tier.
