How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($8,015,365) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (2,298,215), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $3.49 per $5 ticket — $0.70 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $1.51 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~4,942,980 tickets).
