Comments:

The draw used ball set 1 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £30.27. One in every 51.2 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.95% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,655,539.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 3 wins totalling £30.

Ulrika Jonsson took over the reins for the first of her three weeks as a guest presenter of the lottery TV show.

The number 5 joins the number 28 at the top of the winning number frequency table with its 19th appearance.

This was only the second time that 4 of the 6 main numbers had been "month" (<=12) numbers.

This was the first time that two consecutive draws both had consecutive main number triples.

The individual jackpot prize was the largest won by 10 or more jackpot winners in a single draw.

This was the largest total prize pool and the third largest jackpot prize pool for a single rollover draw.

Scratchcard sales dropped by over 10% to their lowest level since the first week of their introduction.

ITV teletext page 123 claimed that there were 1,459,533 3-match winners, which was a typo leaving them 20 short of the real figure...

This was the fifth draw in a row to have at least one consecutive main number pair, which is a record.

A couple of near misses this week as I matched two numbers on two of my four tickets (no matches on the other two tickets though).

£704,525 of unclaimed prizes (1.52% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 9th January 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #88 (Saturday 20th July 1996) [7 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #86 (Saturday 6th July 1996) [No jackpot winners]
