How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($5,671,630) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (2,959,846), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $1.92 per $3 ticket — $0.64 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $1.08 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~5,655,800 tickets).
