How this return was calculated

We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($1,704,265) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (557,654), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $3.06 per $5 ticket — $0.61 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $1.94 per ticket.

Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~4,035,300 tickets).
