Payout rate is the percentage of every dollar wagered that the lottery pays back in prizes over the life of the game. NY law requires scratch-offs publish theirs. Below: the 20 highest right now, recomputed daily from remaining prize counts.

If a $10 ticket has a 75% payout rate, NY Lottery will return $7.50 in prizes per $10 spent on average over the entire print run. Remaining payout rate adjusts for the prizes already claimed: if all jackpots are gone, the effective rate drops sharply.
