How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($22,444,220) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (3,235,575), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $6.94 per $10 ticket — $0.69 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $3.06 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~8,594,820 tickets).
