How this return was calculated

We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($883,655) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (294,720), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $3.00 per $5 ticket — $0.60 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $2.00 per ticket.

Ticket counts come from the Washington's Lottery published print run (~2,467,900 tickets).
