Comments:
- The draw used ball set 2 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £22.53.
One in every 81.4 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.23% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a profit of £2,687,727.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included one win of £10.
- Record ticket sales for a
normal week (their first time over £67m probably because of the
Christmas rush) and 4 numbers above 31 meant this was the largest ever
unwon jackpot, exceeding the
previous record by over £1.5m.
- It was the first time the jackpot hadn't been won for 15 weeks,
which is a record.
- The 5-match prize was the second highest ever and the 5+bonus prize was
the third biggest in the history of the lottery.
- The number 39 has now gone a year (52 consecutive draws)
without appearing. The odds of
this happening for any of the 49 numbers is approximately 18 to 1.
- This was the first draw where more than 5% of the
total prize pool remained unclaimed
after 180 days.
- Not a single match for me this week, but it's the next draw where
I want to match them all !
- £955,457 of unclaimed prizes (5.08% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 20th June 1996 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
