For National Lottery Day (July 17) we mapped the prizes paid per dollar spent per capita by state based on U.S. Census Bureau data. Virginia had the highest prize return ($0.78/dollar spent), followed by Maine ($0.75), and Kentucky and Missouri ($0.74).

Conversely, four states return less than one-third of a dollar spent back in prizes: South Dakota and Oregon ($0.21), West Virginia ($0.22), and Rhode Island ($0.33). Despite these lower returns, Rhode Island, West Virginia, and Oregon still have rather high lottery sales per capita.
