How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($9,965,200) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (722,046), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $13.80 per $20 ticket — $0.69 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $6.20 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~4,069,940 tickets).
