How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($164,066) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (61,454), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $2.67 per $3 ticket — $0.89 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $0.33 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the CT Lottery published print run (~1,014,000 tickets).
