How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($716,728) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (1,263,107), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $0.57 per $1 ticket — $0.57 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $0.43 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~8,542,200 tickets).
