Comments:

The draw used ball set 3 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £25.41. One in every 56.5 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.77% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,790,390.

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

The number 44 stretched its lead at the top of the main number frequency table to 2 with its 17th appearance as one of the 6 main balls.

With the third appearance of the number 45 as a bonus number, three numbers now share that top of that table.

The winning number pair 25 and 34 have become only the third pair to appear together in three draws since the lottery began.

There have now been over 100,000 5-match winners in the history of the lottery.

This was the first time that more than 6 millionaires had been created in each of two consecutive draws.

I was excruciatingly close as I matched one number of my first ticket and two numbers (and one out from two other numbers) on my second ticket.

£815,667 of unclaimed prizes (2.66% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 16th January 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #89 (Saturday 27th July 1996) [4 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #87 (Saturday 13th July 1996) [12 jackpot winners]
