How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($5,647,585) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (1,577,755), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $3.58 per $5 ticket — $0.72 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $1.42 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~4,815,960 tickets).
