At current prize levels a $20 ticket returns about $15.89 on average (0.79 per dollar), which ranks 1 of 8 $20 games on sale in Washington, above the $20 median of 0.73. Among every Washington game with a computable value it is 3 of 79; nationally it sits in the 92th percentile. Like nearly every scratch-off, it pays back less than it costs on average.
