How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($5,980,750) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (875,482), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $6.83 per $10 ticket — $0.68 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $3.17 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the CT Lottery published print run (~1,889,800 tickets).
