what do you mean by +CE? I have never heard this term before and am unsure of its exact meaning.

A flat fee that you would take in exchange for the gamble -- basically the price you'd be willing to pay for the ticket. In case of a lottery with an e.g. $20 mil jackpot, CE is going to be (should be) much smaller than EV when you have any kind of risk aversion.
