How this return was calculated

We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($1,349,770) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (432,872), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $3.12 per $5 ticket — $0.62 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $1.88 per ticket.

Ticket counts come from the CT Lottery published print run (~2,074,500 tickets).
