Comments:
- The draw used ball set 4 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £17.61.
One in every 58.7 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.70% of players).
- This was the 14th Super Draw and the jackpot pool was a guaranteed £5,000,000.
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £5,455,911.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 2 wins totalling £20.
- The main number 5 made its 29th such
appearance in this
draw and closed the gap on the leader, the number 44, to four.
At the other end of the main number table, the number
20 moved off the bottom with its 15th appearance, leaving
the numbers 15 and 39 as the rarest such numbers
with one less appearance each.
- The winning number 5 has closed the gap in the frequency
table to the leading
number (yes, 44 again) to just two by being drawn for the 35th time.
- The winning number 46 has now failed to
appear for 35 consecutive draws,
which is the outright third longest such
absence ever.
- The number 31 has now appeared as a bonus number 3 times in
the past 4 draws, which has never happened before.
- There are now less than 50 winning number
pairs (out of a possible 1,176) that have
yet to be drawn in the lottery.
- I matched one number on my first and third tickets,
two numbers on my second ticket (with a third number one out)
and nothing on my fourth ticket, which sadly marks the
50th consecutive draw where I've failed to win.
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 2nd February 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
