How this return was calculated

We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($1,799,691) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (1,545,995), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $1.16 per $2 ticket — $0.58 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $0.84 per ticket.

Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~12,857,100 tickets).
