First, a few assumptions, that Jackpot is minimum of $50,000, and a free ticket is a $2 value. Then taking the odds furnished by the Lottery Bureau for each prize, I calculated total number of winners per prize, which I divided by number of possible tickets. That gave me the hit rate. I multiplied number of winners times prize for each winning combination, totaled and divided by total cost of all tickets which is $2 by total number of tickets.
Odds and totals are based on the PERMUTATION of 19 numbers taken 5 at a time [Order matters], of course 1 in 1,395,360 for the Jackpot Prize. Matches in order are by permutation, and matches in any order drawn are by combination [order does not matter] in other words the difference between straight and boxed reuslts.
I can try to copy my spread sheet that i composed.

Looks like it came out OK. Feel free to check the math, But it does look like a winner. Odds were copied from Pa.Lottery web site, although I did spot check a few.
