How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($1,619,435) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (1,258,345), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $1.29 per $2 ticket — $0.64 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $0.71 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~4,694,850 tickets).
