• The average prize was £14.44 and one in every 38.3 tickets won a prize (=2.61% of players).
• Ticket sales only fell by just over £7,500, so maybe Vernons Easy Play might survive after all - that's the smallest drop in weekly ticket sales to date.
• Unusually, the first 8 Vernons Easy Play score draws were all 1-1 and the last five were all 2-2 !
• The full launch of the official Vernons Easy Play Web site took place today only a mere 10 weeks late and, despite me being given a preview [only the day before !] and suggesting a load of fixes, it was launched with several defects, the most noticeable being the lack of the latest Easy Play result on the home page.
• Prizes won in this draw must be claimed within 180 days i.e. by 11.00pm BST on Thursday 15th April 1999.
