• The average prize was £23.89 and one in every 63.4 tickets won a prize (=1.58% of players).
• 4 of the 7 weeks so far have featured a Gillingham score draw !
• Camelot's phone system wasn't working for a good 45 minutes shortly after full time in Saturday's matches ! They had to replace it with the old backup system (with a male voice and different menu options) temporarily.
• The first ever "randomly generated result" featured this week - a home win for East Fife vs. Queen of the South (so this didn't affect the number of Easy Play score draws). These randomly generated results are created via a lottery-style machine with 49 balls based on the past 4 seasons' results. Home win balls, away win balls, no score draw balls and score draw balls are spun and picked out for each postponed match (ball is replaced after each fixture, so there's always 49 balls to choose from).
• Prizes won in this draw must be claimed within 180 days i.e. by 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 25th March 1999.
