Why no return? Montana does not publish all the data needed (for example, exact ticket counts or complete remaining-prize tables) to calculate a reliable current expected return for this game. The launch return shown above reflects the game as originally printed, not its current state.

How this return was calculated
A current return requires complete remaining-prize counts and a way to estimate tickets remaining. Montana doesn’t publish enough for this game, so we show it as Return N/A rather than guessing.
