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 1 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £27.26.
One in every 60.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.65% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £4,890,260.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 2 wins totalling £20.
- The second appearance of the number
39 in the space of three draws still leaves it adrift at the
bottom of both frequency tables. Its sixth
main number and
winning number appearance brings
it to within one and three appearances respectively of the rest of the pack.
- The jackpot was won for the 14th consecutive draw, which equals the
record set way back on 16th December 1995.
- The individual jackpot
prize
was the highest ever won in a normal week, mostly thanks to impressive
ticket sales, which finally broke through the
£70m barrier during a normal week for the first time in
22 weeks and rose for an incredible sixth consecutive
week.
- Lucky Dip sales not only increased for
the fourth consecutive week to hit yet another all-time high, but they also
had the highest percentage of ticket sales to date (almost 1 in every 8
tickets is now bought using the lottery terminal's Lucky Dip facility).
- The number 16 finally turned up after having failed to appear
for 30 consecutive draws as a
main number and 31 consecutive draws
as a
winning number.
The two mantles of "longest absentee" now go to the numbers 1
(27 draws since it last
appeared as a main number) and
49 (23 draws since its last winning number
appearance).
which
- It was the only the third time that the same bonus number
(14) had appeared in two consecutive draws. Ironically on this
centenary draw, this first happened exactly 50 draws ago !
- Speaking of 50-related symmetry, there are now exactly 50 main number
pairs that have appeared more than 3 times in
the history of the lottery.
- Two more winning number
triples -
14, 25, 45 and 16, 30, 45 - have joined 15 others in having
appeared 3 times since the lottery began.
- No matches on my first ticket and only one match on my second ticket
means it's the 92nd winless week for me.
- £708,979 of unclaimed prizes (2.25% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 10th April 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
