Comments:
- The draw used ball set B in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £24.28.
One in every 54.0 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.85% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £6,069,306.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included no wins.
- For the third week out of the six so far, 44 was the highest number.
- The 5+bonus
prize
was the largest so far and all other variable prize
categories were the highest for a non-rollover week. Christmas frenzy accounts
for it of course.
- One of the aforementioned 5+bonus prizes remained unclaimed for 180 days
(the ticket was bought in Whitby, North Yorkshire)
and is the biggest prize so far to expire and be added to the National Lottery
Distribution Fund.
- This was the fourth consecutive week that the size of the
unclaimed prizes increased,
which remains an all-time record.
- About 3,000 lottery terminals could not connect to the central computer
at Camelot on Christmas Eve morning for approximately 2 hours. A central
computer failure between 17.30 and 18.40 on Christmas Eve also affected about
2,000 terminals. The Labour MP for Redcar wants an inquiry into why many of her
constituents couldn't buy tickets (answer: they stupidly left it
to the last minute on Christmas Eve).
- The Archbishop Of Canterbury has condemned the "covetness and escapism"
that the UK National Lottery promotes. Amongst the rest of his article in the
tabloid Daily Mail newspaper, he wants to "scale down the more
excessive prizes and tone down the hype". I think the words "killjoy" and
"zealot" spring to mind...
- Only one number matched for me this week.
- £952,707 of unclaimed prizes (3.83% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 22nd June 1995 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
