How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($36,059,890) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (1,522,149), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $23.69 per $30 ticket — $0.79 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $6.31 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the CT Lottery published print run (~2,670,240 tickets).
