How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($2,894,789) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (2,236,484), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $1.29 per $2 ticket — $0.65 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $0.71 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~7,403,550 tickets).
