How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($458,155) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (144,449), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $3.17 per $5 ticket — $0.63 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $1.83 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the CT Lottery published print run (~1,045,100 tickets).
