How this return was calculated

We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($205,575) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (83,497), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $2.46 per $5 ticket — $0.49 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $2.54 per ticket.

Ticket counts come from the CT Lottery published print run (~1,818,000 tickets).
