Comments:

The draw used ball set 8 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £41.84. One in every 62.1 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.61% of players).
If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £2,012,519.
The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 3 wins totalling £30.
Ticket sales were more than 20m less than the previous double rollover, although sub-zero weather conditions (particularly on the Saturday with major snowfalls) throughout the week probably accounted for most of this.
The depressed ticket sales didn't stop them, the jackpot prize pool or the total prize pool from being the second highest ever in the history of the lottery. The 5+bonus, 5-match and 4-match prize pools were also the second largest ever.
The individual jackpot prize of just over £10m was the largest won by four or more tickets in a single draw, smashing the previous record by over £6m.
For the first time, there were three previous 3-match wins with this draw's numbers: Lotteries #41 (16, 38 and 41), #19 (17, 41 and 42) and #9 (17, 38 and 42).
The numbers 17 and 42 have appeared together as a main number pair for a record sixth time.
With the number 38 making its first appearance for some 5 months, the number 1 is now the number that hasn't appeared for the longest period (21 draws).
One match on each of my three tickets, which is frustrating because that doesn't win me anything of course !
£836,620 of unclaimed prizes (1.17% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 25th July 1996 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #64 (Saturday 3rd February 1996) [6 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #62 (Saturday 20th January 1996) [No jackpot winners]
