Comments:

The draw used ball set 1 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £32.47. One in every 54.5 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.84% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,144,030.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included one win of £10.

There were 6 even main numbers and 7 even winning numbers for the first time ever !

Even more remarkably, the six main numbers were all multiples of four, which has also never happened before.

Yet again, I had the most accurate prediction of the jackpot pool anywhere - I'd estimated £22m, whereas Camelot, the media and other WWW sites had estimated £20m.

Only one match on each of my first and fourth tickets and nothing on the other two continues the worst run since Everton's 6 losses in a row (they just won though !).

£902,186 of unclaimed prizes (1.95% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 31st July 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #117 (Wednesday 5th February 1997) [3 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #115 (Saturday 25th January 1997) [No jackpot winners]
