How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($3,449,535) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (1,427,780), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $2.42 per $5 ticket — $0.48 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $2.58 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the Washington's Lottery published print run (~4,691,900 tickets).
