How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($743,300) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (623,841), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $1.19 per $2 ticket — $0.60 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $0.81 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~4,858,950 tickets).
