How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($6,421,275) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (1,806,240), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $3.56 per $5 ticket — $0.71 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $1.44 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~4,815,960 tickets).
