How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($12,021,310) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (1,603,328), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $7.50 per $10 ticket — $0.75 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $2.50 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~3,706,680 tickets).
