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 4 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £19.54.
One in every 67.5 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.48% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a profit of £371,103.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 3 wins totalling £30.
- The number 39 has had a miraculous resurgence (3 appearances
in the last four draws) and now shares the bottom of the main number
frequency table with the numbers
20 and 24, all of which have appeared seven times
each. This success still leaves the number 39 two adrift at the bottom of
the winning number frequency
table, also after its seventh such
appearance.
- 31, 34, 48 was the third main number
triple and the 18th winning number
triple to have appeared three times since
the lottery began.
- This was the first time the jackpot wasn't won for 15 draws, which equalled
the record set by Lottery #58 last Christmas (that was
the start of "lottery frenzy" if you remember with two double rollovers shortly
afterwards).
- For a normal week without a jackpot winner, the
total prize pool was the third highest
ever.
- This was the 15th consecutive draw to have over one million winners, which
equalled the current record.
- Lucky Dip sales rose for the fifth
consecutive week to another all-time high, with more than 1 out of every
8 tickets now being bought using Lucky Dip.
- ITV teletext page 123 made their regular, almost expected, error with the
number of 3-match winners again - they read from the wrong line of the fax and
said there were 1,024,620 3-match winners, which was actually the total number
of winners for the entire draw of course. They also insisted that the
unwon jackpot was £9.8m throughout the following week, despite the fact
that this was a pre-draw estimate, overridden by the exact unwon jackpot
amount at around 9.15pm on Saturday.
- The official Camelot WWW
site took a massive 68 hours to display the winning numbers,
which is an all-time record I certainly don't want
to break !
- Only one match on my first ticket and nothing on my second as I lose
yet again, unsurprisingly.
- £758,657 of unclaimed prizes (3.79% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 17th April 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
Next Lottery: #102 (Saturday 26th October 1996) [7 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #100 (Saturday 12th October 1996) [1 jackpot winner]
