How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($9,427,740) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (1,231,298), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $7.66 per $10 ticket — $0.77 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $2.34 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~3,706,680 tickets).
