How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($76,570,670) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (3,295,138), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $23.24 per $30 ticket — $0.77 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $6.76 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~6,586,040 tickets).
