How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($1,917,110) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (578,632), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $3.31 per $5 ticket — $0.66 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $1.69 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the Texas Lottery published print run (~5,124,375 tickets).
