How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($34,830,450) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (859,886), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $40.51 per $50 ticket — $0.81 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $9.49 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the CT Lottery published print run (~2,067,660 tickets).
