Comments:
- The draw used ball set 5 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £20.03.
One in every 44.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.24% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,547,275.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 3 wins totalling £30.
- The number 5 has moved to the outright top of both
the main number frequency
table (27th appearance)
and the winning number frequency
table (33rd appearance).
- The main number
15 has now failed to
appear for exactly
50 consecutive draws, which is the second longest such
absence
ever and only two draws behind the current record holder,
the number 39.
- After what seemed an eternity, the main number triple
09, 28, 29 has become the 10th such triple to have
appeared three times since the
lottery began.
- There are now eight ticket
combinations that have won 13 or
more prizes in the history of the lottery.
- Ticket sales dropped again to their
lowest level for a Saturday draw in nearly
27 months.
- This was the first time that Lancelot had been used as the machine
in 5 consecutive draws.
- Agonisingly, I matched two numbers on each of my two tickets
and three more of my twelve numbers were one out...grrr...
- £1,098,075 of unclaimed prizes (2.92% of the total prize pool of this week's Wednesday and Saturday draws) from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 27th November 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
