Comments:

• The draw used ball set 4 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £25.83. One in every 57.4 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.74% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,393,806.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included no wins.
• There were a very high number of 5+bonus winners (only beaten by the freak results of Lottery #9), perhaps because the bonus number 22 was the joint most frequent main number prior to the draw and the winners had been picking it on that basis.
• The number 17 has become the outright most frequent main number, having appeared as such for the 7th time.
• This was a record sixth successive draw with no consecutive main number pairs.
• I might have hoped the 25th draw would get me some "silver", but no such luck as usual - only a single match on my ticket.
• £693,174 of unclaimed prizes (2.46% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 2nd November 1995 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
