How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($1,475,660) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (1,047,672), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $1.41 per $3 ticket — $0.47 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $1.59 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~14,210,100 tickets).
