How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($14,360,575) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (4,216,009), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $3.41 per $5 ticket — $0.68 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $1.59 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~4,630,080 tickets).
