How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($12,346,825) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (3,594,681), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $3.43 per $5 ticket — $0.69 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $1.57 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~12,977,400 tickets).
