How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($1,213,960) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (166,117), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $7.31 per $10 ticket — $0.73 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $2.69 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the Rhode Island Lottery published print run (~394,380 tickets).
