How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($10,826,270) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (3,215,420), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $3.37 per $5 ticket — $0.67 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $1.63 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~4,630,080 tickets).
