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

No payout figure, on purpose. Vermont publishes only the top prize levels of each game, and how many of each are left, but not how many were printed. A payout, an expected value or the odds today each need every prize level and how many were printed, so for Vermont 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.
