• The average prize was £9.55 and one in every 30.5 tickets won a prize (=3.28% of players).
• BBC 1's Grandstand dismally failed to read to out the Easy Play results despite reading out the soccer pools.
• As if to make it even harder to find the Easy Play results, Camelot and BBC/ITV teletext didn't have the Easy Play score draw list for 2 hours after the matches finished ! Imagine if that happened with the 7 balls in the main lottery !
• Yep, it took 6 weeks to get the first ever 4-4 Easy Play score draw.
• Prizes won in this draw must be claimed within 180 days i.e. by 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 18th March 1999.
