How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($5,477,140) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (1,620,233), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $3.38 per $5 ticket — $0.68 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $1.62 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the CT Lottery published print run (~2,559,200 tickets).
