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 Arizona today, $1 games average 59.6%, $2 games average 62.0%, $3 games average 67.2%, $5 games average 69.2%, $10 games average 71.9%, $20 games average 75.7%, $30 games average 85.8%. That is an average, not a rule: within this $50 tier the spread between the best and worst game is 1.3 payout points, which is why the table matters more than the tier.
