How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($40,604,890) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (2,807,372), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $14.46 per $20 ticket — $0.72 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $5.54 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the CT Lottery published print run (~3,139,650 tickets).
