Comments:

• The draw used ball set 8 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £20.62. One in every 45.9 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.18% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,409,343.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 2 wins totalling £20.
• The number 48 has joined three others at the top of the main number frequency table with its 14th appearance as one of the six numbers drawn.
• There is now a ticket (5, 7, 10, 22, 25 and 30) that has won 10 prizes in the history of the lottery.
• Initially, ITV teletext page 123 made their usual classic error of reading the wrong line on their Camelot fax, claiming that there 1,528,365 3-match winners, when in fact that was the total number of winners. This was eventually corrected on Sunday morning.
• Not a single match on either of my tickets this week so no celebration here, that's for sure...
• £880,784 of unclaimed prizes (2.79% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 7th November 1996 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
