Comments:
- The draw used ball set 8 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £25.98.
One in every 44.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.24% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £7,407,192.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included one win of £10.
- Ticket sales
were the second highest ever, thanks to the corresponding
second longest gap between rollover draws and this meant the second highest
ever prize pool of course. In general, the longer the gap
between rollover draws, the larger the ticket sales and prize pool are for
the latter rollover draw.
- Scratchcard sales fell for the
sixth consecutive week, which remains an outright record.
- The individual jackpot prize was the highest for a draw with 4 or more
jackpot winners.
- The jackpot pool was lower than either Camelot or myself had predicted
because the second highest ever number of 3-match winners deducted
a significant chunk from the jackpot pool.
- This was only the second draw to leave more than £1m of
prizes unclaimed after 180 days.
- The 8th appearance of the number 5 means it joins 17, 25, 31 and 44
at the top of the main number
frequency table and also climbs
it to joint top (with 22 and 31) of the winning number
frequency table with
its 9th appearance as one of the seven balls drawn.
- The numbers 5, 8 and 48 also appeared in
Lottery #33.
- Two matches and two out on a third number on my first ticket, but no matches
at all on my second ticket.
- £1,117,945 of unclaimed prizes (2.57% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 15th February 1996 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
