How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($573,195) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (155,135), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $3.69 per $5 ticket — $0.74 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $1.31 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the Rhode Island Lottery published print run (~565,300 tickets).
