Comments:
- The draw used ball set 4 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £24.93.
One in every 55.4 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.80% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £7,208,310.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included one win of £91.
This was only the third time that a jackpot ticket had previously
won a 4-match prize.
- Yes, yet another pink
bonus ball (the third
successive one and the 24th overall),
which is an amazing 15 more than bonus balls that have been green !
- Four
ticket combinations have now won 10
prizes (yes, all 3-match wins) in the history of the lottery.
- Ticket sales continued to drop
and, for the second week in a row, have hit their lowest level during 1996.
- The scratchcard sales fared
even worse as they plunged to their lowest level since the first
week they were introduced (some 15 months ago).
These poor sales figures inevitably also hit the
combined sales, which similarly
reached their lowest point since that first week of scratchcards sales.
- Only one match for me (first ticket) this week, making it 5 months since
my last win.
- £714,393 of unclaimed prizes (2.35% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 5th December 1996 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
