How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($1,352,415) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (433,757), 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).
