How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($4,723,555) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (1,423,017), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $3.32 per $5 ticket — $0.66 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $1.68 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the Texas Lottery published print run (~5,124,375 tickets).
