How this return was calculated

We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($2,774,740) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (180,633), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $15.36 per $20 ticket — $0.77 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $4.64 per ticket.

Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~2,353,160 tickets).
