How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($5,343,106) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (8,894,697), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $0.60 per $1 ticket — $0.60 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $0.40 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the Texas Lottery published print run (~8,894,850 tickets).
