How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($15,104,685) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (4,500,578), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $3.36 per $5 ticket — $0.67 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $1.64 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~12,977,400 tickets).
