UK National Lottery #84 (Single Rollover Draw)

UK Lottery E-mail Scams Warning

Winning numbers drawn at 9.33pm BST on Saturday 22nd June 1996:

The table below is courtesy of Camelot's phone line (0845 9100 000 *10). The jackpot prize pool for this, the 14th single rollover draw and the 16th rollover in total, included £10,524,718 (54.2%) rolled over from the previous lottery, in addition to the original jackpot prize pool of £8,911,331 (45.8%).

The next table displays the draw order, revised frequencies and the last prior appearance of each of the 7 balls.

Comments:

• The draw used ball set 7 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £23.94. One in every 40.9 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.44% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,891,201.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 2 wins totalling £20.
• The draw took place at its latest time ever thanks to the knock-on effect of BBC 1's coverage earlier in the day of the England vs. Spain Euro 96 soccer quarter-final, which England won on penalties (0-0 after extra time). Carol Smillie took over as a guest presenter of the lottery TV show for the first of three weeks.
• The first four numbers drawn out from the machine (i.e. 4, 7, 11 and 17) were in ascending order (not happened before, although Lottery #20 had the third through to the sixth numbers drawn in ascending order) and, strangely enough, were all also making their 14th appearance as one of the 7 numbers drawn.
• The number 20 has now appeared as a bonus number for the fifth time, which elevates it to the joint top of the frequency table (along with the number 28).
• With the first appearance of the number 3 for 24 draws, the number 21 takes over the mantle of the main number not to have appeared for the most draws (23).
• When sorted in ascending order, the fourth number in this draw (11) was the lowest such fourth number in the history of the lottery and, as a consequence, it was also the first time four main numbers had been "month" (<=12) numbers.
• With four "month" numbers present (and five main numbers less than or equal to 31), birthdates probably played a big part in this draw having the second highest number of 4-match winners, the third highest number of 3-match winners and the third highest number of total prize winners in the history of the lottery.
• As might be expected, the sum (82) of the 6 main numbers was the joint second lowest ever and the sum (102) of 7 winning numbers was the outright second lowest ever.
• Despite the usual increase in ticket sales for this rollover, it still had the worst ticket sales for any rollover since the 9th single rollover last September. The combined sales figures were also the worst for any rollover that included scratchcard sales in those figures.
• Lucky Dip sales accounted for an all-time record 9.7% of the ticket sales.
• There are now 6 ticket combinations that have won 10 prizes (all 3-match £10 wins) in the history of the lottery.
• Ho hum - out of four tickets covering 24 numbers, I failed to match a single number on any of them !
• £872,917 of unclaimed prizes (1.92% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 19th December 1996 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
