Comments:
- The draw used ball set 7 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £40.04.
One in every 89.0 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.12% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £5,582,952.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included no wins.
- The jackpot prize pool was the highest for a non-rollover/Super
Draw week.
- The numbers were all high, prompting outright records for the highest
1st and 4th sorted main numbers, although it's not
the first time
4 main yellow balls have been drawn.
- The sum (245) of the six main numbers
was the outright highest ever.
- As might be expected with a "high" draw, the number of winners in
several of the categories were near record low levels. In particular,
the 3-match category dipped below 750,000 winners for only the second
time since the lottery started. The total number of winners was the
second lowest too. The only lottery to eclipse this
one was
#4 and the grouping of numbers of the two
lotteries is remarkably similar.
- This was the third consecutive week that the 4-match
prize exceeded
£100 and the 5+bonus prize exceeded £400,000,
neither of which events has happened before. It was also the first time
that two consecutive weeks had a 5+bonus prize exceeding £500,000.
- The number 34 finally moved off the bottom of the main number
frequency chart after
sharing the basement with the numbers 10 and 39 (one appearance
each) for three months.
- This was the first time that two consecutive weeks had the same number
of 5+bonus winners.
- Did you know that ball sets 3 and 5 have only been used once each and
yet the other six ball sets have been used at least 4 times each ? After I
phoned Camelot about this, it turns out that ball set 3 "has never
existed" (!!) and ball set 5 has "gone back to the manufacturers as a sample
set" because Camelot are ordering some new replacement ball sets. So when you
see a ball set being selected, there are actually only 6 to choose from at the
moment, not 8.
- More agony as I matched two numbers and was one out on a further two.
- £686,556 of unclaimed prizes (2.39% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 25th January 1996 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
