Comments:
- The draw used ball set 5 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £25.74.
One in every 53.1 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.88% of players).
- This was the 11th Super Draw and the jackpot pool was a guaranteed £5,000,000.
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,277,025.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 3 wins totalling £30.
- The winning number 15 has now failed to
appear for 35 consecutive draws,
which is the outright second longest such
absence ever.
- The bonus number 3 has become the sixth bonus number to
have appeared six times in the history of the lottery.
- I matched nothing on my first ticket and one number on each of my three other
tickets, so I predictably lost again.
- A 5+bonus prize of £72,421 won by a ticket bought in the Hounslow area expired and was added to the Good Causes fund.
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 12th January 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
