How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($2,958,286) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (2,653,297), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $1.11 per $2 ticket — $0.56 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $0.89 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the CT Lottery published print run (~9,947,100 tickets).
