How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($214,640) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (86,615), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $2.48 per $5 ticket — $0.50 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $2.52 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the CT Lottery published print run (~1,818,000 tickets).
