How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($15,005,365) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (1,017,411), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $14.75 per $20 ticket — $0.74 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $5.25 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the CT Lottery published print run (~2,512,200 tickets).
