How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($18,355,785) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (817,976), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $22.44 per $30 ticket — $0.75 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $7.56 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~1,811,300 tickets).
