• The average prize was £40.35 and one in every 106.3 tickets won a prize (=0.94% of players).
• This was the first week to have all the same (1-1) score draws.
• For the first time ever, no ticket matched the top tier (8 score draws this week) in the Easy Play game, so that tier's prize cascaded down to tickets that matched 7 score draws instead.
• Another ticket sales slump this week (dropped by more than £30,000) probably means that Easy Play will dip below the embarrassing landmark of £500,000 ticket sales in a fortnight's time.
• Prizes won in this draw must be claimed within 180 days i.e. by 11.00pm BST on Thursday 3rd June 1999.
