How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($2,353,958) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (1,812,029), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $1.30 per $2 ticket — $0.65 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $0.70 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~4,694,850 tickets).
