Comments:
- The draw used ball set 2 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £29.38.
One in every 65.3 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.53% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £6,285,582.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 2 wins totalling £20.
- Ticket sales increased for an amazing
fifth week in a row, which is the first time that's ever happened. However,
the rises were only modest, resulting in sales £1.3m higher than 5
weeks ago, although they were the highest normal week sales for
19 weeks.
- Lucky Dip sales again continued to break
records as they exceeded £8m for the first time and also hit the
highest percentage (12%) of ticket sales to date.
- ITV teletext page 123 seemed reticent about the exact individual jackpot
figure - it took them until about 11pm to show the exact jackpot prize
pool and even then they still left it to the reader to divide by 2 to get the
individual jackpot. They also refused to reveal the exact number of
3-match winners, which is even more bizarre when you consider that they
had exact figures for the prizes/winners of the 5+bonus, 5-match and
4-match categories !
- Yet another (8th) £10 win for me, this time
with the second ticket matching 3 numbers (no matches for the first ticket
though).
- £621,267 of unclaimed prizes (2.00% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 3rd April 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
Next Lottery: #100 (Saturday 12th October 1996) [1 jackpot winner]
Previous Lottery: #98 (Saturday 28th September 1996) [4 jackpot winners]
