Comments:

The draw used ball set 8 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £20.62. One in every 45.9 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.18% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,409,343.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 2 wins totalling £20.

The number 48 has joined three others at the top of the main number frequency table with its 14th appearance as one of the six numbers drawn.

There is now a ticket (5, 7, 10, 22, 25 and 30) that has won 10 prizes in the history of the lottery.

Initially, ITV teletext page 123 made their usual classic error of reading the wrong line on their Camelot fax, claiming that there 1,528,365 3-match winners, when in fact that was the total number of winners. This was eventually corrected on Sunday morning.

Not a single match on either of my tickets this week so no celebration here, that's for sure...

£880,784 of unclaimed prizes (2.79% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 7th November 1996 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #79 (Saturday 18th May 1996) [1 jackpot winner]
Previous Lottery: #77 (Saturday 4th May 1996) [2 jackpot winners]
