How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($18,347,475) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (5,338,671), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $3.44 per $5 ticket — $0.69 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $1.56 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the CT Lottery published print run (~9,983,800 tickets).
