Comments:
- The draw used ball set 6 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £19.14.
One in every 65.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.52% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £6,716,798.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 5 wins totalling £107.
- The main number pair 28, 31 has now
appeared 8 times since the
lottery began, which has only been achieved by 6 other
such pairs to date.
- The winning number pair 20, 31 is now the
only such pair to have
appeared
11 times in the history of the lottery.
- One ticket combination
has become the first to win 18 prizes since the lottery began.
- This was the 9th consecutive draw to use the Arthur machine, which
will probably remain a record for some time to come.
- I matched one number on my first ticket and nothing on
my second ticket, leaving me still waiting for my first
win of the year of course.
- A 5+bonus prize of £182,397 won by a ticket bought in the Kingston Upon Hull area expired and was added to the Good Causes fund.
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 13th July 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
