Comments:
- The draw used ball set 5 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £30.95.
One in every 47.3 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.11% of players).
- This was the 5th Super Draw and the jackpot pool was a guaranteed £10,000,008.
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,489,185.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 4 wins totalling £40.
This was the third time that a jackpot ticket had four previous
wins and has only been bettered by the 6 prior wins of
Lottery #107's jackpot ticket.
- The number 5 has joined the number
44 at the top of the main number frequency
table with its 21st appearance.
It's also taken an outright lead in the winning number frequency
table by being drawn
as one of the 7 balls for the 26th time.
- The winning number pair 05, 14 is now one of only four to have
appeared 7 times since the
lottery began.
- The number of jackpot
winners
was the highest for almost a year.
- The individual jackpot prize was the highest won by 15 or more
jackpot winners in a single draw.
- Yes, the "guaranteed" £10m jackpot prize pool actually was
rounded up this week (unlike last
Wednesday) and it went £8 over the figure !
- Needless to say, these were the worst online
ticket sales ever for a single draw and
it was the first time they've crashed below £30m.
Basically, this second midweek Super Draw was an even bigger
failure than the first one !
- The number of 3-match and total winners
was the second lowest since the lottery began.
- The 5+bonus, 5-match and 4-match
prize pools were the lowest ever,
whilst the 3-match prize pool was the second lowest ever.
- There are now 8 ticket
combinations that have
won 12 or more prizes in the history of the lottery.
- I won
another £10 (on my second ticket) - so that's both
midweek draws where I've won a tenner and I've now hit £100 in total
winnings ! I matched one on my first ticket
and none on my third and fourth.
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 11th August 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
Next Lottery: #120 (Saturday 15th February 1997) [19 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #118 (Saturday 8th February 1997) [4 jackpot winners]
