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 Texas as of October 25, 2026, $3 games average 65.3%, $5 games average 64.3%, $10 games average 68.4%, $20 games average 72.4%, $50 games average 74.3%, $100 games average 78.3%. That is a tendency, not a rule: within this $2 tier the spread between the best and worst game is 3.7 payout points, which is why the table matters more than the tier.
