Comments:

• The draw used ball set 3 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £24.47. One in every 54.4 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.84% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £6,740,174.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 2 wins totalling £20.
• The numbers 12, 41 and 45 also appeared in Lottery #43, as did another triple (9, 24 and 41) in Lottery #18.
• ITV teletext page 123 put an "m" after the exact jackpot pool figure at the top of all 4 sub-pages, which meant they'd claimed it was over £10 trillion !
• No matches at all for me this week, so no surprise there.
• £763,692 of unclaimed prizes (2.33% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 29th August 1996 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #69 (Saturday 9th March 1996) [8 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #67 (Saturday 24th February 1996) [4 jackpot winners]
