How this return was calculated

We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($3,791,485) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (625,022), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $6.07 per $10 ticket — $0.61 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $3.93 per ticket.

Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~3,706,920 tickets).
