Comments:
- The draw used ball set 3 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £22.16.
One in every 49.4 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.03% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,361,094.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 8 wins totalling £80.
- The number 25 has joined the number 44 at
the top of both the main
(39 appearances)
and winning
(46 appearances) number frequency tables.
- The main number pairs 01, 31 and 06, 45 have now
appeared 9 times and join two other pairs at the top of the
frequency table.
- The winning number pair 06,45 has also joined two other pairs at
the top of that frequency
table with its 11th such appearance.
- Ticket sales dropped for a record
8th consecutive draw (relative to
the previous week's equivalent draw i.e. Wed-to-Wed or Sat-to-Sat).
- Two ticket combinations have
now won 19 prizes in the 235 lotteries to date.
- I matched nothing on my first ticket and two numbers on my second
ticket to make this another sadly familiar losing Wednesday draw for me.
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 21st September 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
