How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($1,123,845) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (914,120), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $1.23 per $2 ticket — $0.61 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $0.77 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~4,858,950 tickets).
