How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($5,266,745) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (1,520,127), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $3.46 per $5 ticket — $0.69 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $1.54 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the CT Lottery published print run (~4,086,500 tickets).
