Comments:

The draw used ball set 8 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £30.13. One in every 52.3 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.91% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £5,266,033.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included no wins.

This was the first time there were two sets of two consecutive main numbers drawn.

Another first time record was set - 3 or more people had never won more than £5,000,000 each before this draw. In fact, it more than the doubled the previous record holder's £3.1m each (Lottery #25).

The scratchcard sales hit a new record level of £44.44m, which is unlikely to be beaten for some considerable time. It also meant that May 1995 was (and still is) the only month to have all weekly scratchcard sales figures in excess £40m. Needless to say, the combined sales also reached a new high.

Ouch - another close shave with my first ticket: two numbers matched and another one was just one out. The second ticket had a single match as well.

£953,542 of unclaimed prizes (2.21% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 23rd November 1995 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #29 (Saturday 3rd June 1995) [No jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #27 (Saturday 20th May 1995) [No jackpot winners]
