Comments:
- The draw used ball set 4 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £21.27.
One in every 47.4 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.11% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,699,797.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 3 wins totalling £30.
- The number
44 appeared for an amazing 25th time in 109 lotteries
as one of the seven winning numbers, moving
it into an outright lead of the frequency
table.
- The number
29 has now failed to
appear in 34 consecutive draws
as a main number, which is the outright third longest absence
ever.
- The winning number triple
24, 42, 44 is the 23rd such triple to have
appeared three times in
the history of the lottery.
- Ticket sales dropped for the
4th consecutive week, which is the first time that's happened
this year and only third time since the lottery began.
- Even more surprisingly,
Lucky Dip sales also dropped for the
4th consecutive week (after peaking spectacularly at 16.8% of
the third Super Draw's ticket sales),
which has never happened before.
- One match on my first ticket and none on my second continues
my depressing losing streak...
- £995,906 of unclaimed prizes (3.19% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 12th June 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
Next Lottery: #110 (Saturday 21st December 1996) [1 jackpot winner]
