How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($19,947,470) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (5,511,673), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $3.62 per $5 ticket — $0.72 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $1.38 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~12,977,400 tickets).
