Comments:
- The draw used ball set 2 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £20.33.
One in every 71.0 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.41% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a profit of £554,244.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included one win of £10.
- This was the first time that 4 of the main numbers were all above 40, which
explains why there were so few winners (birthdate/month syndrome).
- The 5 match prize was an all-time record high thanks to the record low
number of 5 match winners of course.
- The numbers 17, 42 and 44 now join 29, 31 and 48 at the top of the
frequency table with 5 appearances as a main number. Those three numbers also
appeared in
Lottery #7. Remarkably, the 17 and 42 pair appear
together for the fourth time together in a draw, which is an outright record.
- ITV's teletext page 123 failed to fix their jackpot pool amount all
weekend - it was stuck at the estimate of £8.3m all weekend.
They also amazingly omitted to mention any details, even rounded ones, of
prizes/winners in the 3, 4 or 5 match categories. To cap it all off, they are
now only showing the previous 4 draws' winning numbers and instructing you to
call an expensive (48p/min) 0891 phone number to get any other results. Er, why
not tune to BBC 2 teletext page 750 and get all the previous results
for free ?
- My
lottery subscription started from this draw
onwards and is for a total of 52 draws.
- The Instants
scratchcards game was launched this week,
but they kicked off with the lowest ever
sales. Despite this, there were
record combined sales and
Good Causes figures simply because
both the scratchcards and on-line tickets counted towards those
statistics for the first time.
- Two matches and a third number one out for me this week - another near miss
to keep up my record of total failure.
- £505,274 of unclaimed prizes (2.84% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 21st September 1995 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
Next Lottery: #20 (Saturday 1st April 1995) [2 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #18 (Saturday 18th March 1995) [2 jackpot winners]
