How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($23,175,634) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (11,116,209), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $2.08 per $3 ticket — $0.69 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $0.92 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the CT Lottery published print run (~11,416,200 tickets).
