Comments:
- The draw used ball set 2 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £21.16.
One in every 47.0 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.13% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,225,090.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included one win of £10.
- The main number 15 has now failed to appear for 37 consecutive
draws, which is the outright third longest such
absence in the history of the lottery.
- The ticket sales hit their lowest
level ever yet again.
- These were the lowest ever jackpot and total
prize pools for a draw where the jackpot
was won. The 5+bonus, 5-match and 4-match prize pools were the lowest
seen for any draw since the lottery began.
- I apologise for the delayed updates and comments, which were
due to the fact that I was in Philadelphia, PA during this draw, attending an
HP-UX conference.
- I failed to match a number on my first ticket and only matched one
number on my second ticket,
so I didn't win during my US trip (I won during my last
foreign trip though).
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 13th October 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
Next Lottery: #138 (Saturday 19th April 1997) [2 jackpot winners]
