How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($28,222,215) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (1,244,492), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $22.68 per $30 ticket — $0.76 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $7.32 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~1,811,300 tickets).
