How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($2,864,940) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (162,231), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $17.66 per $20 ticket — $0.88 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $2.34 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~2,417,080 tickets).
