Comments:
- The draw used ball set 6 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £38.52.
One in every 66.0 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.51% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £1,795,650.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included one win of £10.
- This was the first draw to use the so-called "reserve" lottery machine
(Lancelot) and it also returned to the BBC TV Centre in
London - obviously cheaper for the BBC to broadcast from there !
- The third rollover since the UK National Lottery started
caused a frenzy in
ticket sales,
setting a new all-time record more than 5
million tickets higher than the previous record set by
Lottery #9. This naturally also meant that the
total prize pool was the highest ever.
- It was the first time that two people won more than £10m each
in one draw, eclipsing the previous record holder,
Lottery #17, by over £4m.
- It was first full week of
scratchcard sales
and (when added to the record ticket sales) the
combined sales predictably went
through the roof and increased by a massive £34m to a new record level
(their first time over £100m in fact).
- The numbers 22, 25 and 32 also appeared in
Lottery #8.
- The third through to the sixth balls drawn from the machine
(i.e. 22, 25, 30 and 32) were in ascending order, which is the first time
four consecutively drawn balls have been in ascending order.
- This was the first time that the same colour bonus ball (pink in this
case) appeared in three consecutive draws.
- The range (43-22=21) of the 6 main numbers
was the narrowest ever
(the range of the 7 winning numbers
was the same of course and also the smallest ever).
- No matches on my first ticket and one match on my second, so no surprises
there as my 100% losing streak continues unabated.
- £990,428 of unclaimed prizes (2.23% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 28th September 1995 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
