How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($26,642,350) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (1,856,734), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $14.35 per $20 ticket — $0.72 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $5.65 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~7,254,760 tickets).
