Rhode Island's two new scratch tickets have just two top prizes each

The Rhode Island Lottery added two scratch tickets to its lineup on Saturday, November 7: $50,000 Payout at $10 and Lady Luck at $5. Print runs in Rhode Island are small, and each game has just two top prizes. Below those, the prize ladder drops quickly.

$50,000 Payout ($10)

The $10 game has two $50,000 prizes, then nothing until 10 prizes of $1,000. Its next tiers are 69 prizes of $500 and 358 of $250. A prize of $100 or more turns up about once in 103 tickets, and 36% of its wins return the $10. A money bag symbol pays five times the prize, and a star wins all 20 prizes on the ticket. It returns 70.1% of sales, about even with Rhode Island's $10 average of 70.2% and below the 73.0% national average. It rates 75.1, third of 15 $10 games in the state.

Lady Luck ($5)

Lady Luck's two $30,000 prizes sit far above its next tier, 50 prizes of $500. It wins 1 in 3.91 times, but 41% of those wins just return the $5, and a prize of $100 or more comes about once in 510 tickets. A stack of cash pays five times the prize, and an ALL symbol wins all 15 prizes. Its 68.0% payout trails the state's $5 average of 68.7% and the 69.2% national figure. It rates 62.2, third of 28 $5 games.

Once both top prizes on either game are claimed, the most a remaining ticket can pay falls sharply, so the top prizes remaining count matters here more than on a game with a deep prize ladder. The state's four October holiday games and its September launches are covered separately, and the full lineup is on the Rhode Island scratch tickets page.
