How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($2,051,153) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (1,579,298), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $1.30 per $2 ticket — $0.65 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $0.70 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~3,540,000 tickets).
