How this return was calculated
We sum the value of all unclaimed prizes ($1,348,445) and divide by the estimated number of unsold tickets (455,270), assuming winning and losing tickets sell at the same rate. That gives an expected return of $2.96 per $5 ticket — $0.59 back per $1 played, or an expected loss of $2.04 per ticket.
Ticket counts come from the Washington's Lottery published print run (~3,123,700 tickets).
