How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($52,902) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (124,948), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $0.42 per $1 ticket — $0.42 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $0.58 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the CT Lottery published print run (~1,566,200 tickets).
