How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($1,815,105) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (778,813), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $2.33 per $5 ticket — $0.47 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $2.67 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the Washington's Lottery published print run (~4,691,900 tickets).
