How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($6,021,200) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (1,744,927), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $3.45 per $5 ticket — $0.69 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $1.55 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the New Jersey Lottery published print run (~4,762,080 tickets).
