Comments:
- The draw used ball set 6 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £27.01.
One in every 60.1 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.66% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £7,039,813.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included no wins.
- Ticket sales were disrupted nationally for four minutes at about 4.30pm on
Saturday, probably because road workers cut through a cable. Some retailers
remained offline for up to an hour because of this.
- Over 100 million tickets have now won a
3-match £10 prize since the
lottery began.
- There are now 7
ticket combinations that have
won 10 prizes (all 3-match £10 wins) in the history of the lottery.
- If your regular ticket contained the numbers
4, 11, 17 and 46, then
you would have won 3 times (£10 each) in the last 4 weeks (and even
matched a number in the week you didn't win) !
- This was the first time that a 5-match prize was an exact multiple of
£1,000 and only the second time that a won prize has been a multiple of
£1,000 (the first occasion being the 5+bonus prize of
Lottery #8 - the Super Draw jackpot that
week was artificially rounded to £10m and wasn't won anyway).
- Only one match on my first ticket (none on the second) this week
unfortunately.
- £740,096 of unclaimed prizes (2.40% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 26th December 1996 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
