How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($624,184) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (440,195), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $1.42 per $3 ticket — $0.47 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $1.58 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the CT Lottery published print run (~11,499,800 tickets).
