How this return was calculated

We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($90,561,520) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (6,007,048), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $15.08 per $20 ticket — $0.75 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $4.92 per ticket.

Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~7,298,220 tickets).
