How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($1,044,695) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (379,833), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $2.75 per $5 ticket — $0.55 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $2.25 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~5,414,760 tickets).
