Your ticket is graded correctly.
You wagered 20 dollars on the Dodgers laying 6-5 odds.
Thus the 16.67 payout.

If you wanted to *win* 20 dollars you would have had to wager 24 dollars. (6-5 odds)

The feeling here is you wanted to win twenty but you wagered 20 by mistake.

Never the less, a win is a win.

Continued good luck.
