How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($508,916) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (906,148), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $0.56 per $1 ticket — $0.56 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $0.44 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~8,649,000 tickets).
