Best $20 Rhode Island Instant Games (October 2026)
As of October 14, 2026, 8 $20 instant games are on sale in Rhode Island, averaging 71.9% current payout. The best of them is THE NEXT RHODE ISLAND MILLNRE at 72.6% ($14.51 back per ticket, 1 in 3.46 for any prize). $100, $200 or $400! tops the list below at 98.1%, 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 Rhode Island as of October 14, 2026, $2 games average 62.2%, $5 games average 63.2%, $10 games average 65.5%, $30 games average 72.5%. That is a tendency, not a rule: within this $20 tier the spread between the best and worst game is 40.8 payout points, which is why the table matters more than the tier.
