How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($1,368,255) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (433,003), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $3.16 per $5 ticket — $0.63 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $1.84 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~4,446,960 tickets).
