Price is the strongest predictor of payout on a scratcher: the more a ticket costs, the larger the share of its price the lottery returns in prizes. In Texas today, $2 games average 66.4%, $3 games average 65.3%, $5 games average 64.7%, $10 games average 67.3%, $50 games average 75.2%, $100 games average 78.7%. That is an average, not a rule: within this $20 tier the spread between the best and worst game is 11.8 payout points, which is why the table matters more than the tier.
