How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($1,230,088) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (975,372), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $1.26 per $2 ticket — $0.63 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $0.74 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~4,798,950 tickets).
