About This Game
Joker's Wild is a $5 scratchers from the California Lottery with overall odds of 1 in 4.
Returning 64¢ per dollar, Joker's Wild falls in the middle of the pack for California scratchers at this price. The return rate has held relatively steady since this game launched.
Only 3 of the original 8 top prizes of $50K remain — the biggest payouts are becoming scarce. Prizes are distributed across many tiers, giving players frequent smaller wins. Notably, you have a 1 in 4 chance of at least breaking even — better than most games at this price.
Ranked #3 among $5 scratchers in California, this is one of the top picks at this price point.
