How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($5,227,414) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (4,076,794), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $1.28 per $2 ticket — $0.64 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $0.72 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~12,857,100 tickets).
