How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($1,572,280) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (219,635), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $7.16 per $10 ticket — $0.72 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $2.84 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the Rhode Island Lottery published print run (~394,380 tickets).
