How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($83,441,730) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (5,482,611), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $15.22 per $20 ticket — $0.76 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $4.78 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~7,906,300 tickets).
