How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($3,369,230) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (223,421), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $15.08 per $20 ticket — $0.75 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $4.92 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~2,353,160 tickets).
