Comments:
- The draw used ball set 3 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £20.23.
One in every 45.0 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.22% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,876,167.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 2 wins totalling £20.
- At long last, a number (5) breaks past the 10
main number appearances
barrier that was being shared with five other numbers. The number 5 has
also impressively stretched its lead in the
winning number frequency
table to three by making its 15th such appearance.
- With a record 13th consecutive draw where the jackpot was won, the
ticket sales dropped to their lowest
level for 13 weeks.
- The winning numbers would have netted two 3-match prizes in previous
weeks:
Lottery #46 (11, 29 and 33) and
Lottery #16 (11, 12 and 26).
- One curious milestone reached with this draw is that the
total number of
prize winners for all 56 lotteries exceeded the ticket sales for the latest
draw, which is the first time this has happened.
- Only one match for me this week again...
- £802,563 of unclaimed prizes (2.74% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 6th June 1996 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
