How this return was calculated

We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($7,123,600) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (1,075,777), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $6.62 per $10 ticket — $0.66 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $3.38 per ticket.

Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~3,706,110 tickets).
