Comments:

The draw used ball set 6 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £33.59. One in every 57.7 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.73% of players).
If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £6,915,762.
The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 2 wins totalling £20.
The 8th main number appearance of the number 20 has left just the numbers 24 and 39 at the bottom of that frequency table with 7 appearances each.
This was the first time all 6 main numbers were 35 or less for over 8 months.
The first appearance of the main number 1 for over 6 months hands over the "longest since last appeared" crown over to the number 49, which hasn't appeared in any of the last 28 draws as a main number (or 25 draws as a winning number, also the longest).
Ignoring double rollovers, the record books changed as follows:
- The ticket sales were the second highest ever and matched my pre-draw prediction of £83m.
- The jackpot prize pool exceeded £23 million for the first time. Note that for most of the week, my pages were the only place you'd find a jackpot pool estimate above £20m ! Even Camelot got it wrong until about Friday...
- The 4-match, 5-match and 5+bonus prize pools were the third highest ever.
- The total prize pool was the highest to date.
Lucky Dip sales were enormous this week, exceeding £10m for the first time (rising over 60% from last week - a record percentage increase) - 1 in every 6 tickets was bought this way.
Over £1 billion has now been won in jackpots alone since the lottery began !
The individual jackpot prize was the largest ever won by 6 or more people in a single draw.
This was the 16th consecutive draw resulting in more than one million winners, which is an outright record.
Only two matches [and two other numbers one out...grrr] on my fourth ticket (none on the other three) this week I'm sad to say.
A 5+bonus prize of £173,795 won by a ticket bought in the West Kent area expired and was added to the Good Causes fund.
£1,012,539 of unclaimed prizes (2.08% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 24th April 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #103 (Saturday 2nd November 1996) [11 jackpot winners]
