How this return was calculated

We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($1,419,185) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (404,949), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $3.50 per $5 ticket — $0.70 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $1.50 per ticket.

Ticket counts come from the Rhode Island Lottery published print run (~436,800 tickets).
