At current prize levels a $2 ticket returns about $1.29 on average (0.65 per dollar), which ranks 2 of 12 $2 games on sale in Connecticut, above the $2 median of 0.59. Among every Connecticut game with a computable value it is 41 of 69; nationally it sits in the 41th percentile. Like nearly every scratch-off, it pays back less than it costs on average.
