Maine's own figure

Maine publishes these figures for the game as a whole. They are shown as Maine prints them and combined with nothing: set against each other they would make a payout, which Maine's own counts cannot support.

No payout figure, on purpose. Maine publishes only the prizes of $500 and up that each game still has, with how many are left, and neither the game's top prize nor how many of any prize were printed. A payout, an expected value or the odds today each need every prize level and how many were printed, so for Maine we show exactly what its lottery publishes and compute nothing from it. A figure built from part of a table would be wrong, not rough: it is how one state's partial table produced games that appeared to pay back more than they cost. How we treat partial prize tables.
