How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($3,763,235) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (1,134,155), 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 Washington's Lottery published print run (~2,164,000 tickets).
