How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($2,044,391) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (1,623,012), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $1.26 per $2 ticket — $0.63 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $0.74 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~7,358,850 tickets).
